Training Log: nobobs

Over to Hascombe village and back (via Clock Barn, Juniper Valley, posh houses and Mare Lane). 2x10mins slightly faster efforts on the return leg.

(Brief break in the middle of this rep as another runner coming towards me went sprawling over a tree root and I stopped to make sure he was ok)

With 6x15s strides

Club run: Shackleford via New Way

BGC, Barnett Hill, St Johns, Shamley Green

Back to Bramley: 5x90s efforts with decreasing recoveries (2mins, 90s, 1min, 30s) just to turn the legs over a little more

Back over BGC

To/from/leading@ track. Still a little bit sore but improving

Wracked with DOMS today. Lining up a relatively light week

MABAC Winterfold

2nd

Fairly steady for the first half of the first lap, staying relaxed down the long downhill midway round. Then ended up taking the lead by accident more than design as the front two both dropped off in short succession. Never pulled away from the other two in the pack though, could hear them behind me throughout the next lap. Figured an uphill final chase wouldn't suit me so put my foot down on the last long descent to try to get a gap. Failed to snap the elastic though as one of them stayed with me and then took me on the climb. Bit peeved, felt like a winnable race - need better strategy and/or stronger legs!

3mins faster than 2018 (I think they've changed the route slightly?)

Token cool down jog. MarkR very complimentary about my race while I was trying not to scowl...
