after not running in the relay I HAD to get out on Monday so went over to see TP - lots of nice cycle tracks and nothing too undulating
its going to be a matter of exploring the routes I think - we wanted about 4 miles - didn't do quite that far but an encouraging run:
| Mile | Pace | AHR | time |
| 1 | 14:40 | 134 | 14:40 |
| 2 | 14:07 | 147 | 28:47 |
| 3 | 12:58 | 145 | 41:45 |
| 0.76 | 12:45 | 151 | 54:30 |
| 3.76 | 13:41 | 144 | 51:30 |
so I was getting faster - this is definitely a function of warming up - and calf was a lot less tight - just a little stretch after 1 mile and then it was ok
walked a little in the first couple of miles when HR went skyhigh, but from about 2 miles only slowed to cross the odd road
a good run
the fetcheveryone predictor says I should do the 10K in 85 minutes - but this first one on Sunday is HILLY and muddy so I am not getting too optimistic - last runner last year was about 85 minutes
Tuesday
travelled up to York on Monday afternoon ready to do some training on Tuesday
decided not to take my kit because I knew we'd be starting work at 8.00 and that would mean running in a strange place in the dark
however had plenty of exercise , my fell-running friend and I spent a lot of time carrying piles of paper up two flights of stairs
Wednesday
Wednesday is club night and after a good run last week, I was fully intending to go, but the cold that has been hanging over me for a few days took a turn for the worse, so I decided that running on a freezing cold evening was not the best way to look after it
of course it doesn't feel so bad this evening :<(
however it was probably for the best, as I have not been spending much time at home recently so an evening at home cooking and washing up with the teenbeanzes took the strain off mrbeanz a bit
off to London then Cambridge tomorrow - will take my kit and see how I feel on Friday morning
