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
2-126

like running at tis pace, am able to keep a steady and even pace for most of the run, last 5mins tend to slow down.

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

probably took this session abit to hard considering it was supposed to be a rest week, wanted to make up for missing the weekend so started quite confidently but then as the session went on desided my heart rate was to high and tried to slow down. stomach ache on the last rep made it to uncomfatble to run

Saterday - 5miles +/- around Richmound park

31.59min
hit wall at about 8th min and then again at 17. probably went of to fast at the beging
quite tough on the legs as it was all up hill untill the last bit where there was a hill and a flat. this was probably the easiest bit, last 800m, as soon as i start to stride out i become alot more relaxed and its not so tough, but that may just be a psycolgical thing

2-97

felt physically tired again and could raise no effort to run any faster

Thursday- 20x60m hill

Fin 183........ave 173......max 195

felt quite tired again and affected my warm up, was very minamal, was also not as sharp as i would have liked over the first 20m but could feel my self picking up asi got into some sort of rythem


overall the week was very tiring, not because of late nights but probably because i am not use to this amount of running, but thats another complte week, so things are looking good. fingers crossed!!
