18M double; hill rep session & recovery run
11M am incl 10x3m20s up/down hill reps off 60s jog
7M pm recovery run
In (mental more than physical) preparation for the Southern x-country championships this Saturday I headed to Parliament Hill for some of my up then down hill reps. Usually I start by the Lido, follow the start of the Southern/National x-country course tot the brow of the hill, turn up the hill and run to the top before retracing my route to the Lido again. It takes around 5 minutes.
The start and finish funnels are already marked out for Saturday's race - I guess that means its on... And the start is just above the first East-West path rather then down at the Lido, so we'll miss out the ultra-slushy playing fields at the bottom. So today, I started and finished at Saturday's start line. Which meant each rep was about 3min20-25s in length. Still pretty harsh, as it's all steep.
I warmed down around most of the rest of the big loop of the championship course. Unsurprisingly, it's MUDDY.
Just a gentle run in the evening. My legs were full of running. Hopefully I'm entering a full-of-beans purple patch. (If so, please can I request that it lasts 10 or so days.)
