3.5 loopy miles this afternoon around Penistone Hill
20 mins jog followed by 20 mins swim.
Pool felt cold although thermometer read 20°
I train better on holidays.
More holidays abroad required😂
Big treadmill session this morning, 12 miles 5400ft, bringing the weekly total to 41 miles and 10000ft.
Quite a struggle, with all the short Fell and xc races this time of year, and subsequent speed work, to keep the mileage up. But it's only 5 weeks til the Cheviot Goat.
BLOODY good effort on a treadmill Travs.
You are bread for long boring runs with your current efforts.
A solid start to the week, 1 hour on the treadmill, 5 miles, 3100ft. Quite a painful looking club session coming up tomorrow.
Mulling over doing the local xc relays (3.2km legs) on Saturday, or travelling over for the Rhobell Fawr fell race near Dolgellau.
What a good day for training.
30mins jogging with 115m climb.
40mins steady mountain biking.
20mins swim in a cold pool.
All in all a grand days training.
Must be great for those who don't have to work.
Club night.
8 x 800m, with 2 mins rest after the first rep, then lose 10 seconds off each recovery period ongoing.
I was obviously working hard, as it was a real struggle just to do the arithmetic and keep track of what the recovery period was, and work out when I should start running again. This came to a head in the second half, when I couldn't even remember how many reps I'd done, and had to ask a group that I lapped, which rep they were on! So was obviously struggling with the effort!
Physically, I ran well, but reps 6-8 were a real struggle.
Total of 10.5 miles tonight, of which 4 were hard effort.

A little tight in the right calf but now got it dangling in the cold pool.
Roll on tomorrow 😎
Steady on Trev; sounds as if it could be getting habitual!Originally Posted by Stagger
I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
Hopefully.
Lose the demons of previous life and mental illness.
Get the fitness back and start mixing with decent like minded people.
Roll on tomorrow for another fun day of training.
