Cycled 6m to a friends house for a barbecue and 6m home again...does that count as training? Do hope so because it was very enjoyable.

great club run last night, cracking weather and views of the highlands. Ahh, and its nearly the weekend :thumbup:
A pain free 2.42mi today in 17:15 using 3min run/1min walk to ease my way back from ITB.
First one with no niggles = progress.

I'm still managing okay with my run each day sequence - I've now done 25 runs in 25 days and only one of those was on tarmac... and even that was a great run. Not going bonkers on the mileage - 51 miles the first week, then 39, then 38 and, so far, 4 days into this week I've run 18 miles. Hoping to make this week a 40 odd miler though
Cheers, and yes, I know: slowly slowly catchy monkey. Keeping some CV work up by doing the rower and bike in the gym, so shouldn't be too bad once my legs can take it, and my run bits of the run/walk were quite fast (first few at c6min/mi). Knees still just need that time to ease off by throwing in the odd walk.
We'll get there.

repeated the course and put some effort in, not quite full race pace but up there, did the last 3 miles in torrential rain, had to wring out all my clothes after I'd finished as the water was streaming off me. Felt pretty good.
the time 58.01, a full 7 minutes faster, there's possibly another minute to be had but happy with that, another couple of weeks and I should be back to my old self.
hill session tomorrow evening after work
Ran 2miles on treadmill, 5mins hard on stepper, 1mile treadmill and final 5mins on stepper in hotel gym :closed:

6 mile hilly road run, legs a bit tight after yesterday, work again tomorrow (At an adventure race at Rother valley) so will rest the legs, Mondays plan is a 13 miler
Did 13m in the lakes yesterday with 4,785' of climb...fell over rather a lot. Ran 7 muddy miles along part of the Ripon Rowel today and that helped loosen my stiff muscles, got some impressive bruises coming out.
