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!

Here goes some proper training (and new shoes)

17M double; recovery run & general aerobic run
7M am recovery run at ~6.45min/M
10M pm general aerobic run at ~6.15-5.45min/M

My legs are still full of energy and I've started my next phase of proper training. There will be more fast, sustained running than previously with slightly lower mileage.

Today, my evening run was brisk but not hard. I felt really good and wasn't pushing to hit a good tempo.

Perhaps that was helped by my new shoes: Brooks Trance 10. Yes, a minor departure from the monotony of the Brooks Adrenaline series... Apparently the Trance has similar support to the Adrenaline but more cushioning. It's also usually more expensive. But it was on offer, so I thought I'd give it a try. More cushioning sounds a good idea for a mileage junky.
