Usual.

Event: London Night Series 2015-16 #4: Wimbledon Common
 

Started off easy to get the legs moving and stopped too short for #2. After this my hamstring was fine for a while and hit it hard to #3. I hadn't read the whole leg to #4 and started to cut across the rough open. When I saw the other end to the leg I diverted to the car park which cost me over a minute to others.
Ok until #8 where I hit the unmapped path as others did but still did ok for the split. #10 screwed me over like many others so no problem with that. Hamstring really tight from 10 onwards so took it easy to the finish.
Really nice change as always from Scott in the planning and enjoyable on The Common.

Long - Splits

Event: WIM Regional
 

I wasn't sure if I would make the start but went off very slowly. Hamstring didn't feel great but it didn't get any worse. By #5 I was able to go at a steady pace but certainly not racing.
Completely blew #6. Firstly I came out of 5 and went NW along the ride instead of towards 6. Ended up in the green crap and nearly OOB. Worked it out and then dropped more time near the circle. I think some of the green fight was runnable and I mistook this as the white. 3 minutes dropped.
After that the run went well and I only dropped 30 seconds on #20 where I drifted right in the white woods. The hamstring held out and only feels a little tight now. An easy week ahead so lots of massage and stretching.

Lots of massage, stretching and walking.

Drills.

Weights x 12 and core x 22.

Went for a run on Burley West. Going really well except for the odd twinge in the L hamstring. Then it got a lot worse so I decided to jog back.

Going very slowly but then I felt a pull in the muscle and had to walk the last bit.

A cold morning but good to get this out of the way.
