Event: Great Yorkshire 10k
 

Event: Peterborough Half Marathon
 

Great Yorkshire 10K warm up and down with Dave. Blagged a way into the event Hotel to leave kit.
Fairly happy with race first ever negative split in a !0k, out in 16,20 finished 32,38. Got dropped off the back of chasing group at the start so ran on my own all the way, may have been a good thing . At 5k could see leading women just behind which gave me a kick up the arse. Felt strong coming back into town , nice to be chasing people, although not a great time.

Nice run in the morning drizzle through Beeley wood to Oughtibridge ad back along Middlewood Road. Good warm up for 750 flu jabs.

very steady run up rivelin, only the heron for company. Felt rubbish a bit snotty and tired, will take it easy now until Sunday.

First hill session of the season, very appropriately winter arrived 6.0 degrees, windy and chucking it down. Still dressed for summer proper cold. 3x4 efforts up Trickett's hill, would like to say once we got into it was good fun, but it would be a lie. Not much chatting tonight, fastest warm up and down Loxley Road ever. Just about warm again, hot pasta and red wine finally did the trick.

run up rivelin valley then back through Stannignton. Tricked by one day of cold weather way overdressed, coooking by the end. Back and legs ok though, perhaps the warmth does them good!

Enjoying evening runs, maybe the way forward? Short leg strech to unwind at end of long day.

out around damflask, enjoyed the cold

Nice to run in the cool and the dark. Not sure if this was a worthwhile run,as right calf a bit sore. Went down eccy road and then through Endcliffe and Bingham park. A few lone dark walkers appearing out the dark kept some adrenaline up.

4.5 mile warm up and down. 4x 1 mile on track in Beeley wood off 90 seconds, Rob's mile reps. Only ever done mile reps on the track. Struggled to concentrate and get moving on my billy lonesome. Ran 5.25,5.18,5.18,5.15, hard slog for not very quick running. Last hot day apparently so tried not to moan about the heat, obviously failed
