Running warm up/down 21:00 [1]
Warm up and warm down around the car park field before/after the race.
Running race 7:06 [5] 2.0 km (3:33 / km)
Wahoo!! Got 3rd place at BUCS steeplechase, in a new PB time of 7.06.
Super-psyched. Now have more confidence that I'm fit! Hurdling technique definitely disintegrated the last 2 laps though. Need to work on better technique while tired. Think varsity will be a fun battle to get under the 7 min mark, in what I imagine will be my last steeplechase of my career...

Warm up around track before hurdle drills and warm down after turbo session, chatting with some triathletes.
Drills 15:00 [1]
Hurdle drills with the real hurdlers! Some good drills and some good advice. Need to work on keeping my hips square, keeping my trail leg knee high so ready for the next stride, and not leaning way over. Thanks Clara!

Warm up and recovery between intervals.
Cycling 16:00 [4]
4 x 4 minutes on the turbo
Quads sore from yesterday's ride with Jess. So went for it, but not super-duper hard...

The exciting bit was the full-out hailstorm we had from the 2nd to 5th sets. Wowzer. Soaked us through, so cotton t-shirts came off. Stung a whole lot. All the other track folk were hudling under by the locker rooms besides us long distance runners- elemental. But good steeplechase practise to have absolutely soaked through shoes!

Running 12:51 [1]
Lab to gym, at busy-o'clock.
Cycling 20:00 [1]
Cycling on the nice bike in the gym. One for spinning, I think. Really could have used a fan on though, was sweating up a storm!
Cycling intervals 10:00 [4]
5 x 2 min on the gym bike, time to get leg strength, without pounding my poor, constantly-on-brink of injury legs!

Gym to circuits.
Strength 48:00 [1]
Wow! Even started at 6.10 today, cool. And bigger group with the start of term. Fun, fun. Music on Jon's phone a bit hard to hear with so many though.
Running 5:31 [1]
Circuits back to lab- through the parks, which are lovely!! Such nice tulips out! Color, color, color on a grey day.
