Training Log Archive: Lard

Set out with the intention of doing a long Sunday terrain run but struggled to wake the body up on the walk out of the holiday park let alone set a decent pace along the dunes. Decided I'd better maintain some energy for another long day at the waterpark and snuck in the obligatory 30 minutes. Pleasant, but tight and tired. More wine needed ;-)

Training on Guardarmar North (not much further jog from cabin). Doing a rock hard jwoc 96 training course (with no flags obviously). Hillier on this side and sandier. Tough.

Training on LA Marina on the doorstep of our cabin practically. Big shock going straight into technical 1:10 forested dunes. Loved it. Esp the long warm down from north end of map picking the nicest bits to run through.

Making use of the gym to work on core and back strengthening. Lots of stretching too. Kids absolutely blown away by the water park and playparks etc.

Sore back. Flying to Alicante.

Hurt my back. Probably being careless when loading the car or messing with the kids.

Blessed with Grandparenting time Janine and I managed to get in a long run in the Lakes! From Witherslack Hall south and across to the top of Witherslack then due west over low hills to do a circuit of Simpsons Ground then back east and home. Day brightening as we went, good company, beautiful wee paths, lanes, hamlets, churches etc and body held out OK - mild ITB pain from 100 mins which stayed minor. Fab!

Family walk up to the Hospice on Hampsfell. We had Hannah. If we'd just had M we'd have had to run up! :-p
