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 light day - in good company

11M - double; recovery run x2
4M am recovery run at ~8.00min/M
7M pm recovery run at ~6.15min/M

A good day's running, mainly thanks to the company on my two runs!

Yasmin and I went for a nice tootle round Brockwell Park first thing before I headed off to the training camp organised by Richard Nerurkar in Brighton.

It's a two day thing, with a light run and talks this evening and then a longish (12 mile) tempo run tomorrow morning.

It was slightly extraordinary coming down to the hotel reception and finding Dan Robinson and Ben Moreau, two of the country's top marathoners waiting in their kit. There are 30 or so athletes here, but about 8 or 10 of us went out for a gentle run along the sea front this evening. It was a bit windy, but mainly across us and it felt great. It was surreal chatting to Dan and Ben amongst others as we went. Very different from the equivalent in many a sport - perhaps having a kick around with Wayne Rooney and Stevie Gerrard. Really exciting.
