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 at Parliament Hill with the Highgate crowd!

15M double; recovery run & mile rep session
5M am recovery run
10M pm incl 5x1M off 4min recovery at 5.54-5.08min/M

Look, 15 miles in a day! This is proper training...

My general pattern at the moment is to get home at 5.45-6 o'clock and we get Hana ready for bed by not long after 7. So I think I'm going to try to run one of my sessions a week at 7.15 or so and then have a later dinner.

This works well for joining in on the Highgate sessions on a Tuesday. I've not joined these much for nearly a year now due to a mixture of business at work and concern that my calves would play up again with too much track running.

Today's session was not on the track, but on a mile loop nearby. We ran five one mile reps off a chunky four minutes recovery. This meant we could really kill ourselves on each rep... not a good recipe for me given the lack of oomph in my legs right now. But great training. Even though we started late, I was still home for dinner by 8.30. Tidy.

Oh how I have missed the pained afterglow of mashed legs...
