windiy and muddy , slight hill (oppisate end of park) working the whole body so was pretty tough, really ended up working my legs, had to move them quickly so i didnt slip- pusle seems to be quite high but i didnt think it was that stressful

wednesday- 15min 4k? Ave 173.....Fin 182.....Max 182
Ran further than i ran last year in the same time but dont think i would have felt comftable at running at a much higher tempo- quads felt tierd, only muscle suffering- no pain but they werent used to this power work

3rd-9th

Saterday- Rigate Relays 2.5miles

15.08min- paced it a little to well - comfortable and confident for the whole race, but i was in the middle of no one so i had no one to juge my pace on, did not losse a place! was slower than some of my rivals (alex b, matt and ben- all in the 14min)

Sunday- 103min Fin 143..... Ave 139

1-126
2-111
easy, there no effort in this, really enjoy doing it as well and it goes very quickly, last 40mins are the best get into a good rythem after the hour.

Monday - 35.30.....Fin 163.....Ave 157.....Max 168

1-128

174.....176.....176.....177.....178.....179

enjoyed this session, somthing diffrent, didnt feel particuly fast, the steeple chases do change the rythem of the run though

wednesday- 52.30....fin 121.....ave 130

this hurt! the pain in my lower leg came back and really hurt for much of the run, really stopped me stridding out and struggled to keep the heart rate high

Thursday- 1,2,3 x3

Ave rep= 173-178
Ave rec= 150-165

good session in some ways, can run comfortably at this hr but im still 10beats above the other two. they ran with me on this and they were roughly at 160 when i was at 170. last 3min was probably the hardest rep, could feel my self slowing slightly, but overall pretty conistant.

friday- rest

Ave rep HR..... 177-184
Ave Recovery....174-181

this was relaxed and i tried not to go over 184, it is an improvment of about 30seconds from last time- (2oth September), nice easy runnig wasnt out of breath really during the recovery bit but was hard enough by half way that it was a struggle to talk
