A lovely morning for a long run, fresh and crisp. I started off with Will Mycroft, Bertie Houton and Jonathon Collier. My legs were feeling very heavy after last nights session. I expected this and after a few miles Bertie and Jonathon pulled away and I continued on my own loop around Lady Cannings and then done a loop around part of the moor onto the path that links up Fox House and Ringinglow. Fell shoes would have been much better as I was slipping a lot. Glad to get the longest run in of the current campaign albeit a very slow, heavy legged one.

Session on the grass in Endcliffe Park. I did 3 x 10 minutes with roughly three minutes recovery. It was extremly muddy in the park tonight, however not as muddy as it can get. The mud was above ankle and gave me a good above knee covering once the session was done. This will be good preperation for the cross races upcoming. I felt like I was running at what should be 'tempo/threshold' pace for me, it was comfortable but I never felt like I was in the red. I think this is something I need to start doing more often. The paces were reasonable considering my 5km race pace at the moment but I'm sure the mud slowed me down considrably.

I also ran using a head torch tonight which is a new experience for me. It takes a little getting used to as you have to constantly focus on your footing but good fun and I hope to do some more night runs.

Paces:
Effort 1: 6.23/mile
Effort 2: 6.19/mile
Effort 3: 6.13/mile

A few laps of Green Park in London, had a look at the Queens gaf and around The Mall. Feeling good.

Warming up and down.

Planned to do 4 X mile off a minute in the Margit-ziget stadium. However after the first mile I felt tired and heavy after lots of good food and beer. However at the point I decided to bin the session Dom, her mum and the dog Zira walked in to watch. I had to do something so did 10 X 200 (200jog).

1 mile: 5.40
10 × 200 (200jog) all 33-35

Easy run from the park next to heroes square in Budapest. Tired legs today. Thankfully we went to some hot springs afterwards to rest the legs.

Drills and easy jogging.

Run around a different park in Budapest. Legs feeling a little tired but not too bad.
+ 5 × 150m strides
+ 5 × 100m strides

Went back to Margaret Island whilst Dom and her mum went for a walk, feeling good again today but did not want to push it hard as here will be a great place for a session tomorrow or Wednesday.

Had a full body massage afterwards.
