Event: Cheviot Summit Race
 

Short jog around a bit and a little set of drills then very little jog after

Up to Cheviot Summit and back from Langleeford Bridge. 7/55

Was my first ever fell race so wasn't sure about pacing at the start, think that I went off a little too fast at the start but on the first hill settled into a nice rhythm. After the start I was in about 5th place but gradually slipt back over the ascent to about 12th at the top. Then a quick turn around and pelt down the hill picking up 5 places to finish 7th. Really pleased with that the winner equalled the course record of 50:55 so not too far down on that.

there was another 16year running but he looked and ran pro upwards, he finished 4th about 1minute infront

Also what a lovely day it was boiling hot sunshine for the majority with a nice cool breeze. Hope its like this every time :P

Similar route to monday except this time went with mum so it was a bit stop-start giong up the hills and a bit firther on, but a really nice day so had to get out

Wanted to go out running but think I may have a bit of a cold developing so going to rest up for Sunday's race and monday's tyneside interschools 3km

Think I may have a rest day after quite a hard past 5days, my legs have been aching all day. Plus I have no clean running kit and two mocks tomorrow so will have to give it a miss and do something tomorrow after school

w-u~Jogged to the town moor and stretched a little.
w-d~Jogged back but got stuck running down the middle of a road and then overtook a jcb =D

Foxdahl session on the town moor (the big open area near the JK sprint area), haven't done this for a while now and it showed didn't really speed up till about 10mins.
Did 30/30's
But of this did 50 at about 80% and 10 and 90% was hard and hot but really good

First intervals session in quite a while. Found that Whickham Comp had painted its track on on its fields so went their for a change. Was really good.

Did 14x200m at between 32-40s (3.20mins/km)
with 100m walking recovery at about 50-70s
Then 6x100m at between 14-20s (3.31 mins/km)
with 100m walking recovery at about 50-70s

Not sure if all the straights and bends are exactly 100m but they are pretty close.

Jog to and from Whickham Comp playing fields with a little bit off stretching whilst there

Legs mainly just loosening them off

Was such a nice day so had to get out, felt really good today just jogging along but seemed to be floating.
Was a bit too warm for my liking. Also feel I got a bit carried away with myself and did a bit too much too quick

The plank
And a bit more general stretching
