Training Log Archive: Chas

On marshaling duty at the Ian Roberts Fell Race. Took the opportunity to have a jog along the conduit while waiting for the first runners. 2 x 4 mins with 1 min walk between. Then a number of short jogs between the stragglers and back to the car whilst collecting flags. Achilles feeling fine.

Note: I need to decide whether to commit to the VHI in two weeks. Reserve is on stand-by and only fair to give him some notice. I feel I should be OK by then, but only if I don't have a set back in the meantime. Erring towards dropping out. Nothing to do with the fact that it's the same weekend as the Ryder Cup. Honest.

Huddersfield, Buckstones, Denshaw, Greenfield. New pb for the climb back from Greenfield. In danger of turning into a cyclist.
