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!

Another Thursday morning medium-long crescendo run

22M double; medium-long crescendo run & recovery run
15M am with 2M warm up; 6.00min/M (2-5M); 5.35-5.20 (5-14M); 1M warm down
7M pm recovery run

I ran pretty much the same session as last Thursday again, though with more tired legs. As with last time, the initial speed up to 6min/mile pace was an effort after only two miles of warm up, but I got going pretty well and once I got to the open spaces of Hyde Park, hit a pace of 5.30 fairly easily - before that my route is pretty zig-zaggy and involves road crossings left right and centre. I slowly upped the pace from there so that the last three miles were at 5.20 pace. I didn't quite have the oomph to hit a 5.07 final mile like last week (and the wheels started to come off a bit the final few hundred metres) but I mustn't grumble...

I was shattered on my way home.
