Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

CW from Dog. Fast 38.30 to turn. Wind against on way back . Did not race this as sometimes Ran in old pair of swoops and the knees did seem easier

Of great interest and excitement to me but no interest at all to anyone else was that the Old Girl went through 222,222 on the way to Blaise
Felt slightly sick before I started - beware canteen lunch so resolved to go steadily actually ran quite hard took the off track route through the valley.
Underfoot hard despite recent rains so good time.
Knees sore (again) at end perhaps need more shoes to rotate

C • Congratulations 2

Delighted to report first session with Ash for probably 18 months -he is back running just a bit rusty.
Sensible session 10*1min with 60 secs rest. Horrible evening on the Downs -blowing a gale and the proverbial cats and dogs

BOK park event at Oldbury Court. Tried to run along slope between 3and 4 moral don't. Could not find 13,14 and 15 Knowing where you are on the slope is not easy So not great time. 13 misread clearing and at 14 started to read to control on crag no 4. Shows what happens when you tire from trying to run fast.
Not sure how much I enjoyed it. Found slopes covered in bushes frustrating. Probably good training for a middle race. Need to traffic light

Run down to Oldbury Court

Run back from Oldbury

Dundry pre- Bok run warm up - will I ever be able to run again

BOK run off edge of Dundry Hill and back. Nice evening good views and company - hard to believe its only a mile and a half from some of the rougher areas of the city - only spoiled by the amount of rubbish and fly tipping on the lanes.
Part of the "hill fort" is actually Wansdyke. Thanks Pete for organising not run here for some while

Really knackered after weekend -enforced day off

BOC Relay-M50-Holmbery Hill
Clive came back in the lead (32mins) -some guy sprinted him in. Relay running is about carrying the baton round. Its good I did that but really should have run 2 mins quicker. A couple of minor not finding the controls correctly but just not fast enough. James Crawford running 32 ran straight through me but I was struggling to run at all never mind keep up. Alan ran the same time but was run down by acouple of faster teams.We were 5th he needed the couple of mins from me to have much of a chance for 3rd
Knees now terrible.
