Today's Training

[IanDarkpeak]

So why am I not quicker on the sharp ends in races?

too much training??

30 mins on the roads to keep the legs going and take it east. Beautifully still today.

Jan you don't live that far from me and it's been snowing/sleeting for the past hour

Hmm, I put it down to old age! After Wed tapering off in prep for Kinder Downfall. Then just a week more before break before PPP. All scientific you know!

Actually, up here (near Woodhead MR HQ), it's been fine. A wee bit of gently falling snow but nowt else!

Thats more like it Fraddie. Sounds like whatever happened a couple of weeks ago you are motoring again now. Just let the resting work and it will come good on the day.

I did 5 ish hill sess on new hills (for me) in town. Cold and wet but hard work and fun. Odd at the moment seem to bad having a good day followed by a bad day, so just go with it and ease along.

Warm up, 20 mins hill reps, fall down

[Trossachs?]

Undulating (210m climb) road 8 miler in 8min miles, feeling comfy after yesterdays sess.

All this is aiming for the Lakes Classics via the Windermere marathon. Not sure about time as it is quite uppy-downy, and I have a tendency to drift off on long road runs. Anyway I would be happy with 3:30 but who knows?

Feeling good overall
