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 monster VO2 max session

23M - double; recovery run & long VO2 max session
6M am recovery run at ~6.45min/M
17M pm VO2 max session incl 30x800m ish (2m30s hard) off 60s

A solid day to say the least. I feel like I'm hitting some good sessions now and getting a good number of miles under my belt. The last three or four days have been good. Yesterday was hardly light, but I felt I had plenty in the tank today.

I ran the evening session on the way home with some extra loops of Battersea Park to get in enough miles. I left my pack at work again so I could run hard. I didn't have my GPS, so I ran it as 2 min 30 second hard efforts rather than measured 800m stretches. But they felt good. And not worrying about every second/metre may even have helped me push harder and keep my rhythm better.

No niggles now. My calves are better.
