Running 38:00 [2] 7.5 km (5:04 / km)
shoes: Road shoes
Run from home to Graves Park. Quite a long climb from the centre of town up to the park, but legs didn't feel too bad.
Running warm up/down 18:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyper XC
Warm up lap for the cross country and then a few other bits and pieces.
Running race 38:43 [5] 10.0 km (3:52 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyper XC
Sheffield Open Cross Country Race. 4 * 2.5km lap round the football pitches in the park. As Graves Park is at the the very top of Sheffield, it was pretty windy. So windy that at times I felt like I was running hard just to stand still. Unsurprisingly after the past few days training my legs felt a little tired so was a bit off the pace. Felt a lot of pain on the third lap: 9.20, 9.38, 9.55, 9.49. Rob won in just under 36.
Running 34:00 [2] 7.5 km (4:32 / km)
shoes: Road shoes
Run home, but with Oli and Rob this time.
Note
I've done it, I've managed to break 100 miles running in the last 7 days. I thought it would be something interesting / challenging / stupid* to do while I was on holiday and had the time to dedicate to it. It's pretty tough, mentally more than anything because you have to keep doing that extra session. Legs don't feel too bad, just a little stiff. Time for some well earned sofa time.
