Pangbourne off-road 10k

The most enjoyable 10k I've ever done! Such a nice undulating route round woods & fields, really varied that I barely noticed the time passing :) and great to have others pushing you along.

Thought I was in 4th place & I could see a lady ahead of me. Worked SO hard to reel her in over the last 4km, only for it to turn out that there was some beast of a woman 7 minutes (!!) ahead, & that I'd actually killed myself to move from 5th to 4th - doh!!! I knew that I could catch her though, so that was a positive to take away that my kms got faster and faster (down from 4:40 to 4:07 pace) & that I actually felt strong at the end.

Brilliant fun :D (also massive breakthrough that I'm finding racing fun rather than just painful haha)

Hanging this morning (seriously body get a grip) but felt much better after this gym sesh :)

Kenyan hills with Ruth & Tim.
5 x 5 minutes
SUCH a good session. Tough but more manageable than hill reps, & felt good/relevant with the downhill section. Might be going a step to far to say I enjoyed it though...! (especially with the quad burn on the last one)

My favourite mapledurham loop - autumn is definitely on its way!

Just easy as quads feeling a bit sore.

Had to move to intermediate pilates to fit this into my week now, but it actually wasn't really much harder than the beginners class, so that is all good :)

Mark wasn't here today & this woman liked press ups far too much. Seriously press ups on the bike whilst spinning?!
