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!

Mile reps down by the river

13M double; recovery run & mile rep session
5M am recovery run
8M incl 6x1M hard off 90s walk/jog

I ran a pretty good session down on the North bank of the Thames this evening between work and a nice meal out. I was spurred on by a minor altercation with a cyclist on the pavement during rep one. The rest of the session was probably about 5-10s faster per rep thanks to the adrenalin! I hit a really good rhythm despite the blustery wind. The recovery was meant to be jog, but half the time I was too spent to manage more than a stumbling walk.

I bought some new sets of spikes for my x-country spikes today. (Including a set of 15mm ones.) That should reduce the amount of wheel spin on slippy corners in my next race - I was particularly poor on one of the corners last week that must have lost 10-15s there over the course of the race.
