Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

North on the CW from Old Sodbury. Ran quite early and was rewarded with just light drizzle. Seemed to be a bit heavy legged and struggled on the hills. Got to the turn in 43.05, so slower than recent. Felt better and did quite a good last quarter, so time not so bad all things considered.

Purdown, recent rain has meant its just a little muddy, and with the reduced temperature it was fine for running. After 10 mins I noticed I was a bit shorter than sometimes so deliberately pushed on including the last section. Not a bad time but not quite late Spring, this time is probably representative of where I am.

Morning run with Mark and Alice. Twmbarlwm , one of the longer options and includes a long hill. Much better training than recently and although humiod a bit cooler. Enjoyed this run

Could not face a run in the sunshine so did multiple small loops around the many new paths in the local woods. Then did 8 x short hill (70secs?) at the end so that it had some kind of training benefit. Just a case of doing something where possible until normal temperatures return

Decided that its just not possible for me to do anything like normal training if the temperature approaches 30 degrees so went to Ashton Court to make use of the day. Out for a long time, initially running but mostly walking as but boiled in heat and although I had taken water quite distressed when I got back to the car and not all issues resolved.
Representative time and distance

Very hot humid evening., with Monday night runners. Car thought it was 29 at the start. Ran from Cold Ashton but truncated route coming down Mill Lane. Plenty long enough. not to bad a time considering humidity. It did rain but on the journey home.

Ran around Bradley Stoke course, mid afternoon and too hot and humid. Felt quite rough om completion. Not dealing too well with heat. Made two errors/ big hesitations as later on may also have been due to being fried. Overall quite pleased with the time
