Bike on road (Bike to work) 20:00 [2] 6.75 km (20.3 kph)

A bit dodgy on my slicks. Was intending to MTB to work, but would've had to spend ages swapping the lights to it from my commuter bike and pumping the tyres and would've been late to work.

Run - Off road (Run to work) 29:44 [3] 6.75 km (4:24 / km)
ahr:154 shoes: VJ Supra

Much freezing overnight so it's back to the dobs for running, which seems to have knocked 45 sec off the time.

Run - Off road (Run home from work) 43:48 [3] 9.4 km (4:40 / km)
ahr:135 shoes: VJ Supra

Exactly the same as yesterday, but 2 seconds quicker.

ahr:153 shoes: Salomon XT Wings

3 inches of snow overnight. Couldn't resist running through the virgin snow. Turned out to be the quickest way to travel - I was overtaking cars. The only bad bit about it was the wind in my face blowing snow into my eyes the whole way - felt like needles.

Heart rate seems higher than usual. Either due to my excitement at the snow, the fact that my soaking wet Buff was restricting my breathing, or I'm beginning to develop Laura's cold.

So it seems there are only 2 of us in my team who have the balls to travel to work today.
C • Only three inches? 3

Snowed all day. Lovely running.

I think, as Owl says, the higher HR is just because it's harder running in snow. Oddly, the HR was lower running home, despite it being more uphill and me pushing a bit harder.
C • I get far less speed for a ... 1

Bike on road (Bike to work) 20:00 [2] 6.75 km (20.3 kph)

Rode in the Buff this morning to save my forehead from the brain-freeze I got yesterday.
C • Buffs 2

Bike on road (Bike home from work) 20:00 [3] 6.75 km (20.3 kph)

Starting to snow lightly...

Core Strength 30:00 [3]

The usual exercises and stretching, on the living room floor this time. 15s of each, and an extra 15 press-ups at the end.

Pretty sure it was below freezing this morning.
C • -7 C at 8:30 in Southmead 3

Seems to be no warmer at the end of the day.

Run - Off road 21:40 [3] 4.6 km (4:43 / km)
ahr:138 max:159 shoes: Salomon XT Wings

Run to Keith & Matt's Team Monday Clifton club hut.

Slipped and slid up Henleaze Road then across the middle of the frozen Downs. Totally misunderestimated how far it would be - had about 2-3km in my mind.

Run - Terrain (Monday night run) 1:15:00 [3] 14.3 km (5:15 / km)
ahr:130 max:157 shoes: Salomon XT Wings

From the Clifton Club Hut with Keith, Mark S, Charles and Laura D.

Charles had us running in dizzying loops all over Ashton Court. Started to struggle with heavy legs and lack of energy after about 45mins (1 hour running since home), and was considering asking for a lift home from Clifton, but that eventually disappeared and felt I fine again by the time we'd crossedback over the suspender bridge.

Run - Off road 22:00 [3] 4.6 km (4:47 / km)
ahr:139 max:158 shoes: Salomon XT Wings

Run home from Clifton, across middle of the Downs and down Henleaze Road. Fortunately it's mostly downhill so the momentum helped me.

I was freezing cold and feeling quite weak by the end. I think I'd burnt off all the calories I had to spare.Turned out to be a proper long run this evening, more than I'd planned for, and adding the biking to that, quite a lot for one day. A big start to the new year's training.
