Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Midland Champs, Sherwood Forest, M45L. Very fast area, runnable white forest and open heathery heath that was mostly not too heathery.

I was running flat out the whole way. Lost a few seconds at 2, 3 and 11, unable to see pits. 3 was the worst, I did a loop round the group of pits without seeing any of them then spotted them behind me. Maybe 20 seconds at 2, 40 seconds at 3, 11 was just a hesitation really.

I caught Chris McCartney at 14 and we were together until the end. I let him lead me off line at 20 when we were both confused by the extra path, but quickly realised what we had done and only lost 30 seconds maybe. I was struggling to maintain the pace right at the end but felt I ran pretty well.

Don't think I got the best route on the long leg but my time for it looks alright, considering my lack of running speed.

Checking control sites on Malham Moor for YHJS training

Slightly hampered by darkness. It was sort of light when I set off, definitely not light when I finished.

Oxley, very slow. Wearing a portable ecg from the hospital which is going to make life awkward for the next couple of days.

Weetwood and Lawnswood, 6 x 2 mins fast, 1 slow. Still got the remnants of a cold but moving well.

Parkside and Weetwood. A bit sore and tired from yesterday but not too bad.
