23 Weeks to go

  • Monday Rest
  • Tuesday 15km
  • Wednesday 4 * 800m each sub 3 mins
  • Thursday Missed
  • Friday 15Km
  • Saturday 8km
  • Sunday 50Km in 4hrs 59min 7s

Reading 'Feet in the clouds' by Richard Askwith again, very inspirational stuff.
Felt fine after the 50km run was very flat and the slight incline there was in it I walked up.
Will look this week for better training run that has more hills for better training without reverting to the Alps.

24 Weeks to Go

  • Monday Rest
  • Tuesday 1 hr run
  • Wednesday Hill Sprints (Over did it legs were like lead after it)
  • Thursday 1 hr night run
  • Friday 1hr 30mins in torrential rain (like a drowned rat after it)
  • Saturday (Missed my run)
  • Sunday 42km 4hrs 7 mins (7 laps round the park tracks with small hills)
    • Should have run further but ran out of juice (not metaphorically)

Walked into the pool after the Sunday run the temp gauge read 7 deg C but it felt more like -7.
Legs feel fine after the run possibly helped by the immersion in cold water but I dont think I will do it again as it was bloody cold!

25 Weeks to Go

  • Monday Rest (Well roller blading [Attempting] on the Prom)
  • Tuesday 1 hour track through the woods
  • Wednesday Hill Runs
  • Thursday 2 hours 24.8km
  • Friday 1 Hour track through the Woods
  • Saturday 30 mins of sprints
  • Sunday 10km Race (Nice Prom Classic) Current official time 43:59 though I think it still has to take in the start time as I have 43:03 on my watch.
    • Also did further 1 hour through the woods at night (Just back)

Quite pleased with the 10k time as I know I could have lost another min if it had not been for the congestion and bottle necks Why they thought it necessary to put all women out 5 mins ahead and to bring 2 roads into one is beyond me.
