Training Log Archive: Goobs

was doing ints on a course set a while ago i found on the net at they forest. was going pretty smooth and bush running was strong and then BAM! twisted my ankle a bit..not like a crazy amount but enough for me to go home.. this was in the morning and its 1oclock at night right now and its still swollen and sore so tomorrow will be another rest day. the rest of the course looked nice too in the rocky section.

also saw geoff peak and his son olly out there today riding there bikes around. if anyone out there has that super old WOC documentary he is in there running for great britain aim pretty sure haha was strange seeing him there but i think he was pretty confused when he saw me pop out of the bush!

REST DAY AND ICE AHEAD!

ankle started to really hurt :(

started out doing 2 hr trails run with chris riding. and we were going around lake manchester so was pretty physical on both me running and chris riding. got about 30minutes in going over all the hills and the BAM! chrises chain get stuck in between his hub and cassette...so shit cuz he couldn't even roll back haha. so pretty much he walked back over the hills and i ran back the to him then back then to him and again. was pretty nice and pushed pretty hard over the hills. ankle was really sore for some strange reason. think it was last week long run.

nice and cruisy along fairfield corso. world cup wednesday for the cyclist so a lot of crazy riders out to run me over! hamstrings felt so sore so halfway just stopped and strched but still not that great of a run. hopefully tonight goes better.

forget the distance but about 90min riding time, did loop out into the city to meet up with chris and then the river loop backwards. was aimed to stick around 30-32kph Average which we started out and then somehow the pace just picked up..started chasing down some people and keeping about 35-38 then slowed it back down to 33 all the way to tennis centre then back up to 36...couple commuters were trying to stick on us so we just shook em off..felt great with my cadence which helped so much more!

So this was my first proper interval session back since the crash so it was interesting to see how it would go. plan was to do 10x400 on a 2minute cycle and try and maintain that 80 second lap time over the whole session. started out fine and the first 5 were in the 80. then they started moving uo a little but i didn't go past 8 24 which is good i guess.. i just wanted that consistency :(
