Training Log Archive: Frostbite

A bit of a miserable day - wet windy and cold - but I enjoyed my plod around the moors. Ling Park - Beamsley Beacon - Round Hill - Lippersley Pike then back along the side of the moor using bits of path and bits of heather and bracken running. Hard work and slow.

Well, that's my slowest time so far. But it was pretty windy and is easily my best result, and people who have been around me the last 2 times were 30 seconds behind me this time.

I started hard and didn't really notice the wind on the first lap, but when we turned into it on the second it really slowed me down and I was losing time from there on. Kilometer times were 3:56 (downhill), 4:17, 4:30, 4:23, 4:32. I actually made up quite a few places after the first k but lost a few on the 4th.

to and from Hyde Park

I'm planning to do the parkrun again tomorrow. After all this speed work I guess I am expecting some improvement...

Just a little bit will do.

West Park and Kirkstall. Tried to up the pace in a couple of places just to stretch out but it wasn't really happening. Save it for the morning.

loop of Adel from Moorlands School.

8 x 400m, 2.5 mins rest, Oxley. As usual, sluggish on the first and overcompensated on the second. More consistent after that. 93, 83, 90, 85, 91, 86, 91, 85. Not bad overall.

to and from Oxley and a bit of jogging between reps.

Parkside and Weetwood, not as easy as it should have been. I'm a bit tired.
