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!

Recovery

15M double; recovery runs x2
8M am recovery run
7M pm recovery run incl 6x100m strides

Two easy ones today. One at lunchtime. One at 8.30pm. The second one had some strides in it. To get those legs working.

I had confirmation of my spot in Frankfurt Marathon on Oct 26th today...

Another nighttime session

16M double; recovery run & rep session
7M am recovery run
9M pm incl 6x4min hard off 2min jogger

Our current lifestyle means that the best time for me to run my sessions is after 9pm on the (alternate) days I'm not on new baby duty at that time (we split the night into 3 hour segments). It turns out that it's not a bad time for a session... just long enough after dinner that I haven't yet spewed and with the benefit of a whole day's activity to get my legs limbered up.

Today's was a 4min rep session. The same as last week. I ran it mainly along the flat, well lit section of Spaniards Road. I felt like I was recalling moving well.

My morning run was a gentle one around the Heath.
