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.

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

4th-8th

Settling in, bought maps and had whole day at uni

74min explore run. Found the indoor running track about 35mins run away from my halls.

26th-31st

Saturday
Boxing Day Race- Downs, Just over 5km??
18.40 (a good 2-3mins faster than last year!)

First lap- .....9.04
Second lap....9.36

I won this race!! Well sort of it was staggered and the ones who normally win were two mins staggered behind me. Every year they always catch me but this time they were a good 30-40 sec behind. It was very much a run by my self, i was catching people but no one was then pushing on with me.

Pleased with the run though felt pretty smooth whilst running and people said i looked completly in control buut i think i may have had a little bit to much to eat (and drink) on christmas as i certaintly didnt like what was going on inside my stomach whilst running.

ill, the last couple of days just been coughing alot and not sleeping, been really struggling to get to sleep before 3am which meant i was just tired most of the day and running was the last thing i wanted to do!?! went and got new spikes and those studed shoes you were talking about, unfortunatly stok seems to be rather limited at this time of year so will see how these studted shoes go, they seem good though.

Thursday
Morning- 47.58.....Fin 137.....Ave 140

Just really wanted to get out for a run, feeling fine, not tired, still a little blocked up but the morning run cleared it. Evening run was just run as i feel still feel kind of strong. Started of slow and tried to build it up. Not running hard but still feels quite fluid.
