This new loop is the dream. Up and round East hill for some climb then down through the fields to take some pressure off the knees and add some distance.
Also crazy what difference two rest days can make, just felt soo comfortable. Although two weeks of tops off is making me rather pink.

shoes: New Balance Beacon

Football practice was going on at the field so I ran to a different place before gaining some courage and going back and asked if I can run round them. Awkward situation because the field is private and I shouldn't be on it, but they were ok in the end.

Running (TRACK) 26:39 [4] 8.03 km (3:19 / km)
shoes: Salming Speed 1

First speed session in a month, it showed...
2× 1km 4× 400m (2 sets)
3:03, 3:14
73, 71, 74, 72
3:13, 3:11
73, 72, 75, 72
No top end speed at the moment, droped off after the first 1km

Death by 7 hours of geography talks (same for rest of the week) made watching jwoc/tdf very hard and killed all motivation to train.

shoes: Salming Speed 1

Slightly embarrassing, was going fine for the first couple of k but then at the turnaround I was faced with a wall of wind/slow runner paying no attention to what was in front of them. Underestimated what the last three weeks or racing/no speed work has done to my top end speed. Probably won't go for a 5km pb untill after the summer holidays.

Going to go for a time tomorrow at the Parkrun, but not sure whether I'll get a pb as the legs are hardly tapered for it.

Adventure out east. Couldn't find the footpath to the top of one of the hills I planned to run up, this the set in an o style mistake. Lost my head and spent the reset of the run taking wrong turns adding like 3km. My knee is still really bruised and running up/down steep hills I think is making it worse so going to hit some flat miles for a bit.

EYOC recovery - nice to finally have some time off intense training so I can just enjoy getting out. I'm planning to avoid orienteering untill Scottish then take 3 weeks off training completely in Greece before getting back into it in late August and September. Also right knee bruised still
