Running - easy 30:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas flats

My eyes were bigger than my squatting muscles yesterday and my back ended up doing something it shouldn't. Really sore and difficult to walk all morning but good enough to work my way through some drills this evening. Actually felt really good generally and i think i can do the session i was meant to do today tomorrow.

Maybeck up to Louven howe, other way round to usual. Reasonable in trainers, if i didnt take so many ad lib terrain options all over the place.

Morning jog from lucy's, got lost all over the shop round crigglestone

11 AM

Orienteering - hard intervals 40:00 [4]

Intervals round Yorkshire Champs middle. Quite nice to "orienteer", not really looking at my compass much but im saving things like that for alicante. If I can improve from feeling like someone replaced my lungs with something the size of kiwi fruit, that would be great. A kind woman told me where i was during one of my recoveries :-)

Not as good feeling at all today. Was planning to stick to the cinder track but got to raindale and thought if im having this kind of day i might as well have it on the coast path. So slooow going all the way back trying to stay upright.

5 PM

Version of round town. Again, getting an okay amount of power for aerobic effort and a bit disappointed the route didnt take longer.

Running - easy 57:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara Nov 2017

Massive sleep and still sleepy all morning, got some work done and decided it should be quite an easy day. Maybe because of the morning off but when i eventually got out i actually felt something like my normal self, moving quite okay and easily. It's been a month since i started taking iron and i suppose the blood should be getting replaced now, so i hope this feeling will happen more and more now.

Down to the beach to avoid the ice. Second recovery week. Felt quite okay, as yesterday, just a little bit lungy on the last hill home. Apparently rest days are great for recovery, how revolutionary.

Running - easy 1:25:00 [2]

Fylingdales from red gates. Still snow cover, lucky to have a guardian sheep to leave prints along the path to Louven howe or i might still be out there (also it had uncovered the Jugger Howe Dead Sheep, which stopped me stepping in it, good work). Thought the forest road from there might be well tracked but only one ski track (?!!) and everyone knows you dont run in the ski tracks. So deep snow most of the way back too.

Back roads, where there was the most sensible surface, then clifftops saltwick to abbey, then back through town. Low capacity again but fine to run easy.

About an hour after i planned, was about to leave when work kicked off... Lots of wading through slush.

3 PM

Running - easy 1:00:00 [2]

Fylingdales, sunset and probably the most snow ive run in all winter. So my route took a bit longer than it should, ended up in some quite heavy going.

Again, felt a lot better on the second run. Mostly along the front towards sandsend, big waves. Then back through town.

Running - easy 1:05:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara Nov 2017

Consulted Sarah R. and the plan is that i should cut my training to 10hrs per week for two weeks provisionally, to make sure i can counteract any general undereating. Never fun to have to do this but if the way to excellence is going to mean extra rest and lots of food for a bit, this is just what i shall have to do...

So i only ran once, from Bay up to ravenscar on the cinder track.

10 AM

Running - hard 45:00 [3]

went to a small fell race at Commondale, not much climb and a bit of everything so should be right up my strasse. was feeling really bad this morning but i thought it might be some nerves when my confidence is low, but found that my legs wouldnt respond normally, and progressively worse as i went (i know im a drama queen but it really was difficult to keep moving at all on the way back even though that was the downhill). so sad to feel like that. i think normally i would have been around the top 5 but it was more like 20th in the end. luckily no-one else cares because fell running, but i care to be in this kind of state :-(

To sandsend and a bit of mulgrave. Some more additions to the "places road shoes shouldnt go" collection. Both ways along the sand to get some different load than just tarmac. Back/glutes are a mess, generally not too bad otherwise tho

5 PM

Running - easy 47:00 [2]

Feeling yesterday, back especially tight. Would be the half day today but i have enforced rest tomorrow. Easy while washing was on, it took extra long today so had time to stretch while i waited too.

6 PM

Running - easy 1:10:00 [2]

2 laps of skogsåttan. Not as much fun as usual with my low capacity, or rather the expectancy of it, i managed okay in reality. Borderline phobic of ice and reminded why on the last marsh, where i fell and had to stop for a bit to put my shoulder back in the socket :-( looking forward to going home again tomorrow!

4x10/1 threshold ish in Ågesta. Took a lot to get out for this but found a good feeling in the end. Worked harder than last time i ran this session anyway. Chilly today, frozen fog.

Bit late. Round the lake while my washing was on. Feeling fairly normal, just a little off usual pace, and I think half of that is to do with v tight back/glutes from travelling, working, being stressed, definitely not playing on attemped hill sprints in any case.

6 PM

Running - easy 51:00 [2]

Ågesta with Louise. Getting there. Today was still stressful with work but i think its over now, ready for a good productive day tomorrow.

A session! 7x4min/1min round stora skuggan. Not producing any great speed but so good to actually sort-of enjoy the hard work again. Even did an extra, was only aiming for 6. Ned to stretch more.

Morning jog round one of the Fulwood road variations... A bit heavy from the gym to begin with but main annoyance was where i got water in my ear on sunday and it wouldnt come out. Have been a bit deaf since then but its got worse now. Not an infection yet but hope it doesnt turn into one.

11 AM

Running - easy 1:27:00 [2]

Had to have a bit of Rivelin action. Loads of water coming down. Chilled, not great for speed anywhere off tarmac anyway. In particular fun and games getting back up the side and trying not to slide off the top path. Counts as a sociable run cos i waved across the road to OJ.

To Bay, on the way to the station at scarbados. Cinder track, down to the cliff past hawsker, then back up raindale cos the path was so muddy. Nice but should probably have eaten breakfast before i went, bit bonky at the end.

Another day working but nice with an easy day, even though my hangover is entirely cheese based *smug* after the quietest ny in ages... Went secret woodland snooping with dad, except i think we got caught on cctv so theres probably an all ports order out now.
