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!

A couple of miles at (a bit more than) race pace

7M am incl 2M at 5.18-5.10min/M

I ran gently down to the river this morning and ran a couple of miles at around race pace in my flats. The first mile was at 5.18, the second at 5.10min/M. Both felt good. Wearing flats makes a massive difference! My policy of only race in them does no good for my self confidence on rep sessions - I don't know how many seconds per lap my massive trainers slow me down, but I suspect it's a couple. Anyway, the flip side is that I feel incredible when I do finally get to pull on my racers.

That will be my last bit of fast running until I warm up on Sunday.

I caught the tube home. It has been so long since I did that that I had to get Yasmin to remind me of the fastest route.
