Note
(sick)

Well, what a completely rubbish weekend. Just after writing the note yesterday saying my cold was feeling much better I started to go light-headed and dizzy. By lunch I was being sick and that continued all afternoon.

Felt better this morning, but there was no way I could run, especially as I had not eaten for 24 hours, so just drove back to Sheffield.

So, in summary I drove 360 miles, didn't do either of the races I wanted to do and spent most of my time either sat on or curled around the toilet. Great.

I'm in a bit of a boo now.

Note
(sick)

Better again today, now in a bit of a XC quandry. I am going to go to the race, and if I'm needed so that we score a team I'll race, otherwise I will go for a nice jog and cheer on the boys and girls.

Feeling better, but need to decide whether to run National XC tomorrow. Still going to travel home tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

Running 34:00 [3] 7.0 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Asics trail shoes

Lunch time run down the canal. It was quite warm today, too warm for a thermal, long sleeve top, hat and gloves (I'm starting to get like Oli for wearing lots of layers). There were lots of people out fishing, I don't think I would want to eat anything caught from the canal, but maybe catching stuff is not really the point of fishing.

Running intervals 40:00 [4] 9.0 km (4:27 / km)
shoes: Road shoes

20 * 90/30 Foxdal intervals. From Malin Bridge down Rivelin Valley road to the post office, back up the A57 and down through Broomhill. Wasn't pushing too hard, just trying to stride nicely through them.

Running warm up/down 16:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:20 / km)
shoes: Road shoes

10 minute warm up and slightly shorter warm down as I had run out of run. Met Neil on the way back, at least he is up and about now!

Weights 45:00 [3]
shoes: Road shoes

Usual weights session, but added a few more squats with the bar thing.

Running 1:09:54 [3] 13.0 km (5:23 / km)
ahr:127 max:148 shoes: Asics trail shoes

Decided to give track a miss tonight, had a bit of a dry throat the last few mornings and while it's not getting any worse, intervals maybe wouldn't have been a good idea. Or maybe it's just that I'm being stupid and overly paranoid. Need to snap out of this. Anyway...

Went for a feel good run in Rivelin in the sun and felt, well, OK. Heart rate average 6 higher than last time I did the run, but ran three mins faster. Max only 4 higher. Up onto Stannington, Coppice track and back through the stables.

Running 32:30 [3] 7.0 km (4:39 / km)
shoes: Road shoes

Hill program run on treadmill at gym.

Running warm up/down 21:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:15 / km)
shoes: Road shoes

Run from work to circuits and then home afterwards.

Circuits 45:00 [3]
shoes: Road shoes

Circuit training. The usual 8 sets of 5 exercises, 45 secs on, 15 secs off. Slight change in the order, with CV first in each set. Not done circuits for a few weeks now, but felt OK. May hurt tomorrow.
