Training Log Archive: Arnold

Got a decent night's sleep but felt more tired running than when I hadn't slept well during the week. My hypothesis is that work-related adrenalin feeds through to running too, whereas when the body knows it's the weekend it basically switches off all advanced functions. Wonder whether any research exists into this.

To Worcester Park. It would have been about an hour each way to cycle to the race, so I wimped out and took the train from here.

Leatherhead Street-O.

Lovely day out and a solid if unremarkable run, which might just be enough for the win. Getting the map in advance and being able to see other finishers' tracks in MapRun makes it a different (nerdier) sort of challenge - I guess I could not look at either, but where would be the fun in that?

There might yet be some controversy from people (including me) taking advantage of the many unmapped shortcuts on offer. I say in Street-O all is fair game, but others might disagree.

Sunny and warm in Leatherhead, overcast and cooler in Norbiton.

Back home.
