Training Log Archive: blairtrewin

Didn't sleep much last night (it's been a rather turbulent few days at work), and thought I'd struggle today. First outing onto the old fartlek circuit for a while (and one of the last while I'm still here) and it showed - for the first couple of reps I didn't feel as if I was going any faster than when I was jogging. Felt faster after that but wasn't actually going any faster, and outside 11 for both loops. Had an unexpected surprise with a big bang in mid-run; initially it wasn't obvious what it was coming from. (The storm then developed more over Bulleen and Templestowe).

Interesting literal translations department: I was looking up the event information for Sunday's event in Switzerland (will certainly get some training on steep ground: M40 is 5.2km/320m). The section which tells people to park in the designated parking area, and not willy-nilly through the village where the event centre is, translates literally as "Please, no wild parking". (You can find plenty of wild parking in a country not too far to the south, especially from Rome southwards).
