Faster than ever! w.e. 14/9/2014
I did it! a new parkrun PB of 17:39 on the back of my last big week before Ladybower.
Training
Downgrading and refocusing w.e7/9/2014
Another week of decent mileage and effort wrapped up.
Early morning long runs w.e 31/8/2014
This week was all about the first long training run I’ve done in a while and I’ve found the only practical time to do it is to get up at 5am midweek and run further than many people commute to work.
Solid recovery – w/e 24.08.2014
This was always going to be a bit of a tester after the Trail Chase and a near 80 mile week last week so I’m glad my legs responded well for once.
Back with a bang – w/e 10.8.2014
It’s so nice to actually put down some miles this week after the holiday excesses and include a race and reasonable long run in all that.
Croissants won out – w/e 3/8/2014
I eventually gave up on the idea of running while on holiday this time. It was nice to have a rest and stuff my face instead.
Holiday contingency plans – w/e 29/7/2014
It’s certainly great to get away with the family but any hilarious plans I had in my mind about being disciplined and carrying on a decent level of training while pushing ice cream and croissants into my face were just that – hilarious.
Getting bored of niggles now – w/e 13/07/2014
Having managed the three heavy days in Chamonix last week with the trail team, I seem to have aggravated something on my return. This is getting annoying now.
Mountains and racing a barge – w/e 6/7/2014
Not your normal training week because of the epic Trail Team trip to Chamonix and a race at the weekend.
The Berghaus Trail Team hit Chamonix
The last week has been one of the most intense, challenging and fun weeks in my short running history as I joined up with the rest of the Berghaus Trail Team for 3 days mountain running in Chamonix.
