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!

50 laps of the track

20M double; medium-long tempo & recovery run
17Mam incl miles 2-14 hard (average 5.35min/M)
3M pm recovery run

I got up early for one of my 'medium-long' tempo runs at the track. I ran 50 laps, 48 of them (i.e. 12 miles) hard. I averaged 5min35secs per mile, slowly cranking up the pace. It's pretty mentally tough churning out lap after lap - much harder than the same distance on the roads.

The guy with his personal trainer who were at the track for all but the first and last laps must have wondered what I was doing. They probably think I'm still there.
