Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

Not planned to run today but superb bright sunny warm spring afternoon. Ran from Swineford to race course, round hill and back .More of a potter really. Great to be alive day

BAWA 9X2mins with 90secs gap. Not a great session -strong wind tried to avoid but a bit gusty. Breathing not great.
Quite a gap since last efforts and early spring training lacked consistency - now opportunity to improve

Leigh woods standard route - again completely dry fast running conditions - not strong on hills and a bit short of zip - hence time but putting miles in the bag in the dry light spring

Purdown may never be this dry again! Crisp evening standard route no diversions pleased with time

Blaise Castle & Penpole from car park lovely spring evening if a little cool. Very much enjoyed tour of dry wood. Heavy legged on a couple of hills to start and tried to run a bit faster back

JK Relays Hambelden- made errors on first two controls and also at 4. Did catch up some places but very little in the legs - weak on the first hill left me trying to keep up rather than map read

JK Day 3 Cold Ash wood
28th a messy wet flat wood really not my type of race. I was messy from the start horrible mistake at 5 completely disorientated. Other mistakes in first half - better second. Disappointing as I knew how to run here - biggest problem not holding line on compass.
Looking at winsplits less mistakes I would have been 11th - completely meaningless but speed in the wood not too terrible
