This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A triple (thanks to the tube strike)!

14M; triple - recovery run x3
6M am recovery run at ~6.30min/M with pack
4M pm recovery run at ~6.15min/M
4M late pm recovery run at ~6.15min/M with pack

Yes, a three run day! Not intentional. But running home at the end of the evening seemed like the best plan thanks to the tube strike.

I felt pretty good today. Legs were fresh despite yesterday's 20 miles. I took the morning run steady, but was full of beans for my early evening run. I only had time for 4 miles.

My late evening run was something else. Two glasses of nice Spanish red and some fine tapas lined me up nicely. Then Foals, Total Life Forever on my headphones (I almost never run with music - it was the wine talking). It felt magical flying down the hill on Charing Cross Road and round the top of Trafalgar Square to Black Gold. Millbank past the Tate Britain to the strains of This Orient was another excuse for a bit of a speed-up. And After Glow required the addition of a little extra loop at the end.

I'm heading to the track tomorrow for the first time in quite a while. Just a little taster.
