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!

Recovery

12M double; recovery run x2
5M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M with pack
7M pm recovery run at ~6.45min/M with pack

Gently today. To work. Then to Canary Wharf to meet Ron for a coffee. We had a good chat about our plans from here. And he had some useful feedback about my stride pattern and things I need to think about when I'm upping my tempo. Basically, I have a tendency to increase the frequency but decrease the length of my stride when I up my effort in training / races. I think I don't do this at marathon pace, but do when I try and push harder. It makes a lot of sense. And it'd be nice if it helped me run faster!
