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!

Fairly long tempo

19M double; longish tempo & recovery
12M am with at ~6.30min/M (0-5M), 6.00 (5-8M), 5.40 (8-10M) & 5.20 (10-12M)
7M pm recovery run

I managed (with a bit of encouragement) to get out of bed early this morning to squeeze in a pre-work crescendo/tempo session. I ran it around the perimeter of the Heath, down to Primrose Hill, through and looping around in Regents Park and then the usual route from Baker Street to Russell Square.

It felt ten times better than I was imagining while lying lazily in bed. The Garmin told me I found a decent amount of zip in my legs towards the end - even with a bit of dodging through the traffic over the last couple of miles. Quite pleased.

My evening run was just a gentle one home.
