2 PM
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Few laps of the Eastlands warm up
3 PM
Track race 15:32 [5] 5.0 km (3:06 / km)
Northern Track Champs 5000m - 11th
Start quite strongly (2.57 first km) but then couldn't sustain pace so eased off. Felt like hard work the whole way, quite windy and got tucked in behind a Leeds runner. We both slowed down but when I tried to push on I didn't have any more speed and I got overtaken again. Strong finish in the last 200m but was hoping for a better time than this - still, better than a 9.03 3k I guess!

Green Route round Shotover. Calves looser and was running much more relaxed. Hopefully I'm turning the corner... get the exams out of the way next week and then on to Jukola and some fast times

Running 45:00 [4] 7.25 mi (6:12 / mi)
OXSRAD + Uni Parks. Wet.
Advised to pick up the pace on the steady runs. Didn't feel too relaxed though, calves really tight and hamstrings a bit sore.

Track intervals 25:00 [5] 4.75 km (5:16 / km)
2*5*400m[60s][3m] Slow, lacking that higher gear, not feeling utterly drained anymore though which is a bonus
Did some 150s with Rach after, just about kept up. Nice to wear the new track spikes, Nike Ventulus - awesome shoe

Running 1:05:00 [3] 9.0 mi (7:13 / mi)
"Long" steady run with Rach - feeling better illness-wise but sick as a parrot, mustn't drink cups of tea just before going out running in future.
