Training Log Archive: Craney

Blaise bright and early before a nice trip out to the Black Mountains with the Elson clan and my Dad.

From the Downs, over the Bridge, Leigh Woods, Abbots Pool, TANPIT woods and back through Ashton Court. Nice arvo, felt pretty good after last night's race (and minimal warm-down).

Pretty happy with that - a pb (although only my 2nd ever 10km race) on a not-entirely-flat trail race in the rain dodging puddles, and on a Friday evening after a long week at work. I was paced quite well by some of the other B&W guys and we ended up getting all of the top 5 places. Almost got dropped between 3 and 4km, but some puddles and undulations worked to my advantage and I got back to the front of the pack for 2nd place. Got burnt off by Steve Francis at the end but came in 3rd. I'll have to have a go at a sub-32 in a road race sometime soon.

C • I'm running one on Saturday... 4

Roady loop down to Hallen, the badlands and back through LW. Cruising tonight ahead of towpath 10km tomorrow. Feel ok but a little achey.

Long day in London but managed to squeeze in a steady around Blaise once I got home.

3x5mins in Blaise on a loop involving some hills, grass, mud and flat. Not overdoing it right now due to tiredness - the weekend involved hardly any sleep, I had to be up at 6am this morning, and I'll have to be up at 6am tomorrow.
