SLR round Girton. Solid group out for this one. Pace was pretty similar to what was specified for the first 10 and then we upped it having gone through Girton. Got horrendously lost in this bit during michaelmas so was good to come back in a group. Pace was ramped up once we hit the busway at 14k and stayed at around 4s for the rest of the way. I fully blame Aidan. Not complaining though, I was secretly hoping for some faster action today!

Aussie themed tea run after a pretty victorious trip to London. Fun all round and was kept busy chatting to some year 12 lads who were joining the run for the day - lots of application-related questions

Steeple race at Cambridge Track - 9:54 on the watch Just Rian and myself running today in pretty foul conditions (wind, rain), so was just looking to run a sensible race, focussing on nailing the jumping technique - particularly on the water jump. I led out and we ran a pretty stately pace for the first few laps - just wanted to get a feel for it. Nailed the first, and indeed all the following, water jumps which was a good confidence boost. Decided that I was keen to get things going so ramped the pace up from 1k onwards. Jumps carried on well, had a few stutters but nearly all of them were satisfactory. Carried on leading and pushed the pace a wee bit more - reckon we were running around 3-3:05s towards the end. Rian came past with 80 to go which was highly predictable. Honestly I didn't mind though - I'd much rather front run a steeple so I can properly sight the barriers. So overall, pleased with this. Felt much more controlled in terms of both pacing and jumping and looking forward to ironing out stuff in training before varsity :)

Easy run with Aidan up to Baitsbite. Solid chat and felt fine - flew by. Lovely to have a bit of rain as well after the scalding temps of the last few weeks

WD post steeple then grantchester run with Isaac. Absolutely masses of people at grantchester so was quite busy at points but really enjoyed it all the same. Stopped off for another cheeky dip which was refreshing as ever

Hareys ints at John's. 5x600 This was a fun sesh. We were given different things to do on each reps in terms of surging or steady which made it interesting. Good group out, even if it's always a bit annoying that the session for 20 people seems to be dictated by the needs of 3 people... Got a corking spike to the shin on one rep when I went too close round a corner, so I now look like I've been attacked by a lion or something with 3 lovely lines
