running 42:00 [2] 7.6 km (5:32 / km) +50m 5:21 / km

Easy warm up and down some of it with Ali.

running 23:13 [5] 4.89 km (4:45 / km) +280m 3:42 / km
ahr:172

Set off pretty hard for the first few minutes with a central lad immediately opening out a bit of a gap to me and Ali. Ali came past at about 5 minutes and I grimly hung on until the top. On the steep muddy start of the descent I managed to get a decent gap on him whilst overtaking the struggling central guy in flats. Ali was then closing me down on the long road descent as I had quite a grim stitch but kept the damage to a minimum and had just enough space to hold him off till the end by about ten seconds! I think that was a pretty solid time for the poor conditions so reckon the best way to train is either to run 40km a week and cross train like a mother f***** or to do one week of big miles.

HR averaged low end threshold... Guess that is the looong descent

5 PM

running 34:30 [2] 6.4 km (5:23 / km) +50m 5:11 / km

Easy cruise with Ali up to the monument for the 7th time in the last 8 days. Told Ali I would keep my hr under 125 on the way home and as a result ran a flat km in 6:16... Gave up when I accidentally hit 126 :'(

running 49:20 [3] 10.0 km (4:56 / km) +450m 4:02 / km

Tempoish up Great Dodd as I was on a tight schedule. Very marshy going for the first part of the climb with a nice stiff headwind the whole way up... Solid run but can't imagine I am going to feel too fresh on the Callendar Crags race on Saturday. Aaah well ;) Top was covered in clag and the path petered out so was a bit unsure but it was all gooood

Supposed to be meeting Iain and Maf at 12:30 but managed to miss them through a series of unfortunate events. Eventually found them towards the end and got in a precious few miles. Felt grim for the first half an hour and then great for the next hour. Shorter day tomorrow I think although feeling totally fine :o

Tempoish first half then easy home. Last minute decision to run as I had to pick something up from a friend's house reasonably urgently. Feeling pretty tired
