Tuesday Fartlek

Same fartlek as last week - from the office to bestwood park, round and back. 1 min on, 1 off. finished in 59 minutes today - probably down to the offs being faster than last week.

Enjoy this session.

slow weekend

easy jog to beths and back via woodthorpe park on sat afternoon. about 40 minutes

Sunday - took lucy to see Nottingham Triathlon on sunday morning - she liked seeing the fast bikes and clapping the fat man! Then took her home and ran back to Holme Pierre Point for the ladies race. Plan was steady anyway, and felt fine at the turn (5.53 miles in 7.15 miling, but then hit the wind on the way back and got slower and slower... ended up 11 miles in 7:40 miling. Just had no energy in the legs - Natlie does have a viron though, so perhaps I do too?

Fartlek

1 hour run from work over lunch. To Bestwood park, round and back.
Plan was to do 1min on, 1 min recovery for about 1 hr.
Did exactly that and got there and back in exactly 1 hr.

Good to vary the pace.

Bit Behind

Not keeping up with the blogging!

Last weekend at Home
Saturday: Warden - 5.62 miles, 37:12 = 6:37 min miles
Sunday : 2 x Warden plus round via the hospital - 11.5 miles, 1hr 20 ish = 7:10 miles. Pleased with this, but struggled over the past mile. Will I be able to get to 6:50 miles for 13 miles?
Tuesday: 3x laps slow
Thursday: round woolaton park from qmc: 5.4 miles, 6:30 miling
Friday: 9 miles from home to holme pierrepoint and back in 67 minutes - 7:30 miling i guess

A month to go - really need to push the steady speed up to 6:50 ish from 7:10 or so.
