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!

Plenty of hard cross-country miles again

22M double; medium-long run & recovery run
15M am incl 12M hard around the National cross-country course
7M pm recovery run

I ran another 'medium-long' effort around the Heath this morning, slightly longer than on Sunday. I warmed up for a couple of miles before running three and a bit big loops of the Southern/National cross-country course (I think it's the big lap we do in the Southern actually, including an extra little section up at the top of the Heath). The last mile and a bit was along the path past the track and up by the eastern ponds. I felt like I got the effort about right - better than Sunday, thanks to remembering the course a bit better and working out how and where to push. I jogged the mile home at snail's pace. My legs were in a state all day.

I was dead tired at the beginning of my evening run, but got going surprisingly well by the end.
