Fitting it in

The problem with running further is that it takes more time!

This week done

1. 10 x 400ish m outside the hospital (73; 75; 77; 76; 78; 78; 79; 79; 80; 76)

Really feel i need to get the legs moving over faster.

2. 9 miles or so - 6 laps of forest fields - Garmin gave up half way through, but was only running steady - 70 minutes.

3. 1 hour while the car was being MOT'd. From Kwikfit to bestwood park, round and back - 59 minutes, then a 12 minute jog home.

France next week where it will be hot so will have to go out early morning - perhaps focus on speed rather than distance.

Patient Safety

Had to lecture the F1's at Queens today on Patient safety, so took the opportunity to run round woolaton park for a bit of a change.

Planned to do two laps.

Total 9.01 miles in 63:18 = 7.02 min miling.

Was desparately trying to keep the average at 7 in miling, just lost it in the last two miles...

Splits: 7:09; 6:56; 6:58; 6:45; 7:06; 6:54; 7:13; 7:20; 6:53. Last mile was flat to slight down hill.

Pleased to be pushing the miles up and keeping the 7 min mile aim. Don't feel i can run any faster though. Think I need more speed sessions now - fartlek and perhaps 400m reps.

Jersey Running

Been away in Jersey.

Can't remember what i did the week before that... more steady 7-730 miling stuff I think.

Ran in Jersey with Beth - really nice

1. 8.23 miles in 57 minutes so about 7 minute miling.

2. Easy 6 mile jog to recover

3. 10 mile ish in 80 minutes - beautiful open roads, along the coast and a killer hill that did me at 7 miles!

since back, a 5.23 miles in 37 minutes - meant to be 1 mile slow, 1 mile fast etc but went

7:21; 6:22; 7:21; 7:11; 7:10. So managed 1 fast mile!! Want to get a few faster sessions in.
