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 pyramid session

17M double; recovery run & pyramid session
7M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M
10M pm incl 400-600-800-1000-1200-1500-1200-1000-800-600-400 off 60/90s jog

My legs were in good shape today I think, though the slippy rained-upon pavements took a bit of the edge off the shorter reps of my evening pyramid session. Having said that, it was far from a right off. I've found a good route home now which works well for this kind of session and I have enough pairs of shorts that fit my phone and keys etc so I can leave my bag at work. I got away pretty early today and I even a made it to the track to say hello to a few people before making it home in time for dinner.

I ran my reps off 60s jog recovery other than the middle three, which I followed with 90s jog. My new trainers (Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12) feel a bit firmer under foot than the old version (version 11). I'm still getting used to them, but I think they might be better for getting me into a race-type gate.
