10 AM

Orienteering 1:00:00 9.0 km (6:40 / km)

Tour de Burbage with Jen, Riina, Sammi and Jaimie. Not the nicest day for it, but a nice mix of tourism and technical training, including 3x short courses in Surprise View, Burbage Valley and the boulders.

Running 45:00 [2] 6.0 km (7:30 / km)

The in-between bits.

4 PM

Running 42:00 [3] 9.0 km (4:40 / km)

Usual Loxley route in the rain and mud. Legs felt good, but head was a bit tired.

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Exercises.

8 AM

Running 1:06:51 15.0 km (4:27 / km)

Had another crack at the Parkrun. I struggled to make it out of bed for this after a night out at the Fat Cat. I abandoned plans of a pre-run breakfast when I woke up with a headache at 7.15 and slept in until the last possible moment. Felt a bit better by the time I had run down to Endcliffe and the race itself felt alright, although I wasn't going particularly fast. Got in a tussle with a Darlington runner, who came sprinting past me with about 500m to go and then turned prematurely into the finish, leaving me to come in first. I suspect he would have beaten me otherwise.

4 PM

Running 47:00 [2] 9.0 km (5:13 / km)

Evening jog up Rivelin back through Bolehill Park with Riina, showing her some of the local haunts.

Friday Feb 11, 2011 #

Running 45:00 [2] 9.0 km (5:00 / km)
(rest day)

Finally gave in to the tiredness today and settled on an easy run up Loxley. My hip and back felt very awkward today, so never felt entirely coordinated.

4 PM

Running Drills 10:00 [3] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)

Drills at Myers Grove - felt a bit looser and better after this.

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Thursday Feb 10, 2011 #

9 AM

Running 1:05:07 14.0 km (4:39 / km)

IW up Rivelin with an effort up the Coppice track to make an otherwise meaningless run marginally more purposeful. My legs weren't pleased to be running today, but I didn't give them any choice.

3 PM

Running 58:00 [2] 12.0 km (4:50 / km)

Easy jog from work down to Foot Heaven (I was late), then a run home after having my back well and truly loosened off by Kim. Now I just need to find a way to stop my chronic big knotted lump from coming back...

C • cut out all that running if... 6

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Wednesday Feb 9, 2011 #

10 AM

Running 1:18:00 17.0 km (4:35 / km)

Loxley Common, fisheries, Spoon Lane loop. Felt drained for the first 15 or so, but gradually better as the run went on. Calves a bit sore, but other than that no ill effects from last night.

9 PM

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Tuesday Feb 8, 2011 #

9 AM

Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

Easy IW. The sun was shining and was actually giving off some faint warmth. All was right with the world.

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Same old.

6 PM

Track session 35:00 [5] 9.0 km (3:53 / km)

Hallamshire session, 6x1500 off 5.50. The reps seemed interminably long, the rests seemed unbelievably short, and there were quite a few points at which I resolved to run less than 6 of them. Ground it out though, helped along by a nice compact pack composed of PaulF, Mike and Dave S for the later reps. 4.54, 4.55, 4.53, 4.57, 4.55, 4.54. Great session!

Running 50:00 [2] 10.0 km (5:00 / km)

To track with Paul and home with Pete, whose company was much appreciated. Sore and spacey by the time I made it back.

Running Drills 10:00 [3] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)

Drills session to warm up.

Monday Feb 7, 2011 #

8 AM

Running 50:00 [2] 10.0 km (5:00 / km)

Up Rivelin, Den Bank, Crosspool. Legs were heavy, but the throat felt a bit better - other than that no ill effects.

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Usual exercises.

5 PM

Running 1:03:00 [3] 14.0 km (4:30 / km)

NBR HFW. Tired for the first half hour and felt good for the rest of the way, possibly coinciding with reaching the top of the hill. Wet and miserable and I almost forgot to enjoy myself.
