Intermittent posting from me at the moment - busy busy busy so this may seem like a bit of a selfish “blog-post” but hoping just to stay in touch with all.
I had an attempt at a read back on the train this morning but sorry I'm not going to do a Gul, and mention all, in fact I rely on Gul's morning summary to keep me vaguely in the loop! So thanks for that Gul - keep up the good work!
Suffice to say, there are some good long runs getting done now, good work all, and some good racing too - seems like a good, if cold and wet day a Wokingham and the Meon Valley, well done all!
I dashed off to the Forest of Dean last weekend and had a good couple of days, highlight was what I thought was going to be a fartlek session along a disused railway track through the forest, but actually after setting out I realised that the hill wasn't going to stop as it slowly meandered up through the trees, after 3.5 miles of continuous up hill, with some hard random efforts I decided enough was enough and turned round.... 3 pretty swift splits back of about 6:10 each! Nice.
Rest of week pretty standard some general aerobic stuff, a good set of 5x6mins with 2min recovery mid week and then 18m on Sunday which pleased me as I picked up the pace over the last 3-4miles to about PMP and it didn't seem too tough.
Total for the week 46 miles - So it seems that things are starting to come together.
6m recovery this morning.
Brighton Half on Sunday - anyone else down there for the day?
Daily Dilema - To mini-taper or not to mini-taper for Brighton.... Currently I'll probably train through as planning on sandwiching the race with some easy miles to get up to 17-18 for the day but might take Saturday off.
