23rd-29th

Saturday
nothing- revision

Sunday
800m race
1.59.8
The race was not as hard as i had thought and obvisouly now i think i could have gone faster. Found probably the first 200m the hardest as this was in 27seconds, this is probably right and reflects the training i have been doing as running as when the pace slowed back down to 30sec 200m i got quite comfortable again. Problem was i could not really pick up, change to a faster speed again.

16th-22nd

Saturday
had planned to go to the track this morning but got dragged out last night ( i had planned to stay in and revise) and ended up staying out a lot later than i had wanted. Did not run today as i then had to revise all day.

Sunday
35min steady run. Just went out for a run, no pressure, getting fed up with exams so just wanted to get out side. Felt quite tired because i had been sitting in chair reading all day

Monday
43.37.....Ave 128....fin 143
had exams all day today so was prett tired and unmotivated, however flat mate was going so i joined her for a slow jog

Tuesday
morining- woke up feeling really ill an tired, went back to bed for an hour but ended up sleeping untll 13.00 which meant i had uni all day.

Evening-
went down to the running trackGot happily welcomed into a finnsih middle distance group, although there were only two of them today.
10x200m
All in 29 sec except for the last one which was 27. Had 2.30 min recovery except for the last two reps which i shortend to 1.30.
This felt really easy and relaxed although the 27 did feel a little tight and unuasll

I ahve been invitted to compete in an 800m race this Sunday.
The ytrack also has a farely good gym, has the basic bar weights.

evening
31.59.....Fin 161.....Ave 155
+10min warm up and warm down (have to run through the city centre and you are always having to stop).
Think i have found a good route now so will try and this harder and faster. the problem is is that going down hill is quite slippery so i have to be careful and slow down making it difficult to keep speed. Otherwise things were ok, Hamstring seem a little tight but ok whilst and after running

Thusrday

Hamstrings were a little tight before starting, but once into the session they lossend .Felt fine running, really relaxed, prehaps a littke to relaxed as i think just naturally slow towards the end. Need to do more of these just to get the times faster and increase the rep numbers, not as comfortable as doing 20x200m, can'nt keep the same intensity

Am out this evening so wanted a good session today. ran 35min there and back aswell.
Run felt quite comftable, After about the 11th rep legs started to get quite heavey whilst running but recovered pretty quickly. Was aiming to stop once the recovery HR got to 175.

wednesday
morning- 42.37. Just went really slow and took it easy. woke up with a little bit of the shakes, might have messed around with my body a little yesterday as we all went into the suana and then jumped into the freezing lake about 5 times.

evening-
35min....Ave 159
tried doing a fartlek but the roads are too many so i am continuly starting and stopping when trying to get to the woods. Have not yet found a long enough route in the woods to allow me to run hard enough to raise HR. i think mx i got it to was about 167.

Thursday
morning- 53.16.....Fin 131.....Ave 143

Well i have no found out that you are not allowed to run on the Cross country skiing routes! Had some crazy man chasing me, screaming and shouting at me from a tractor, so ended up running through the forests, not on any sort of path for about 5min (it seemed a lot longer). Anyway found a walking path which is lit and i may beable to extend it. Problem is i am not sure where abouts i was running today as i can not find it on the map. i got very much disorientated as everything looks the same. Was good fun though and didnt really get that lost as i was out for less than an hour

Friday
