Stretching 10:00 [3]

Woke up this morning and left knee decided it was its day to hurt. Went for a walk to the shops which felt ok but hurt again in the room. Did some stretching whenever it decided to hurt again.

Running 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Knee pain went as soon as I started but decided to keep it easy anyway. Decided to check out some hills for doing short hill reps on, about 100m. A rough path in Endcliffe then two adjacent tarmac ones in Bingham on the way back.

Stopped about 0.5k in on the way back to stretch as left knee was starting up again, was fine again after stretch.

Came back through the wood on the south side

Hill Reps 10:00 [5] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Two adjacent paths in Bingham in the open by the tennis courts. was just going to run one but knees felt fine so did five on one then a 2 minute rest then five on the West one. Ran up on the tarmac path and down on the grass.

East (~12.5m climb) about 27/8 seconds, stopped just before junc
West (~7.5m climb) about 20 secs

Probably should have done a few more as I didn't feel tired after, next time probably do 10 of each.

Wobble Board 10:00 [1]

Running 1:41:00 [3] 20.6 km (4:54 / km) +400m 4:28 / km
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Up porter valley then onto burbage with TomB and DaveA, took a small path on the moor that ended up in us doing some terrain running in tussachs so walked for a bit. Back down to the Lady's plantation then up the track to Fox House for ~1.7k. We're getting a bit closer each week.

Got a slight headache when we hit the moor which was on and off till the end. Knee was a bit better. Felt it running down to Endcliffe Park so I stretched it a bit then it was ok until a few miles from home. Think I'll take it easy for a few days to let it recover.

Stretching 5:00 [1]

As soon as i got back from the run

Running 40:00 [2] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Really Easy. Legs felt heavy especially for the first few k and my right knee decided to play up so kept stopping ans strecthing which helped for a while. Was going to do 9k but going for a long run tomorrow and didn't want to aggrevate the knee anymore.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [3] 6.6 km (4:33 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

2.5k run before hand. Had a bit of a headache, but decided it was due to not enough water today rather than some sort of a cold.

Running intervals 21:10 [5] 5.6 km (3:47 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

From TomB's GPS.

Pyramid style. 0.5min, 1min, 1.5min, 2min, 2.5min, 3min, 2.5min...

20 sec rest up to 1.5min then 30 sec.

Recovery time felt like nothing, would have left more time if i'd been on my own. Felt like I was going quite good, some parts were really muddy and energy sapping as feet slid around. Managed to keep working right to the end at a good pace.

Running 45:00 [3] 10.0 km (4:30 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Easy run up the valley. Kept on checking the times, but then forget to look once I got back. Was 24mins on way up and was a bit faster on the way back, 13mins with 2k left.

Running 25:00 [3] 6.0 km (4:10 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Hill Reps 6:00 [5] 0.75 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 315

Did a couple of hill reps on the hill I found the other day.

250m long with about 55m climb.

Unsure how long i took on first but second was about 1.55, with first feeling a bit quicker.
Got to the top of the first and felt knackered, legs felt really wobly. Took quite a while to get down. Felt slightly better on the second but didn't run it so fast. Next week I'll do three of these, gradually increase the hill work.

Woke up with sore throat but wasn't that bad by midday so went for a easy run in the parks. Started out really slow then sped up to just slow. Unsure on time out but did 20mins on way back.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [5]

Circuits 36:00 [3]

Didn't feel as hard as last week, maybe I wasn't trying as hard?
