Today's Training

[Tahr]

A recovery paced run out at Tinto, 4.4miles or there abouts.

Didn't you do the race?

Raced in the Tinto race on saturday, had pretty good run by my standards, made up at least 10 places on the descent, shame I don't climb as well .

Sunday, a nice steady cross country 5ish miler recovery run.

I was in it, but never really in it.

Steady run out today 1hr 20m, lots of fun bashing through rough ground in atmospheric weather

Gentle mile and a half with the dog, stretching our legs out last night.

4 miles tonight - 3 of them quick, plenty of hill. First run out in new Puma Faas 300 road shoes, so far so good. They feel like a softer (padding and upper), smoother version of a fell shoe. Flat enough to help me maintain a comfy midfoot landing but not so minimal that it hurts to land on the heels a bit going down hill. Bit of a bargain too, at £30 a pair from sports soccer!

Four mies on the road tonight. First run in two weeks. Didn't expect to be in the same shape I had been in, but didn't expect to find it so hard either! Blimey.

1hr 15m brisk run out in Angus, minor altercation with an Alsatian put a bit of a downer on things

I've recently bought a pair of these and agree with all of that. The only drawback is they have absolutely rubbish grip and on wet, smooth tarmac you might as well run on the spot!
Otherwise I like them:thumbup:

2nd 30min run of the week. From Burbage North over the tops. Lots of runners around that area early afternoon. Everything feels pretty good, no niggles :-)

I knew there had to be a plus point to Sheffield's crappy roads! Not sure I've seen much smooth tarmac round here.... but I'll take it easy in the rain in the off chance I come across some, ta.

Night time "springvale spirals" road race last night, 4.5 miles, 1000' climbing, 8 hills!

Was hoping for sub 40 min, so very happy with 36.44. Apologies to Darth of the Dark Side, as he pretty much towed me up hills 3-7, then I ran off down the hill....

Excellent hill session and surprisingly little stiffness from all the downhill pounding so far.

Who won then, I took the evening off.
