Running warm up/down 41:00 [1] 5.5 mi (7:27 / mi)
slept:5.5 shoes: Adidas Swoops
Easy run (and back) over to Harlow Town Park using mainly off-road paths. Cycle track woods were like New England forests! Lovely day - only made dodgy by 15 units of alcohol sloshing around the system...
Terrain training hills (Hilly fartlek) 35:00 [4] 5.0 mi (7:00 / mi) +120m 6:31 / mi
shoes: Adidas Swoops
Hilly fartlek. Did about 6 reps - each approx 4-5 mins using the hills of Harlow Town Park (yes... there are some and they are quite steep!). Tough - thighs were very heavy and felt grotty from last night's booze.

Running tempo 1:10:00 [3] * 10.0 mi (7:00 / mi) +25m 6:57 / mi
slept:9.0 shoes: Adidas Swoops
Run from High Lodge Warren (Thetford Forest). 20 mins steady on tracks followed by 30 mins at tempo (classic race) pace on the 'Black' mountain bike route (left a pack of riders for dead!) followed by 20 mins easy. Met up with daughter, Alice, at the end of her O session and still managed to beat her over 80 metres sprint... just! Lovely crisp autumn morning - cold with clear skies. The only disturbance was from the F16s in and out of Lakenheath.

Running (Running) 1:05:00 [2] 9.0 mi (7:13 / mi) +20m 7:10 / mi
slept:7.0 shoes: Hi-Tec 2
Steady run around Ely on the roads. Felt tired, but had a bit of a spring in my step. Out at 6am as awake early due to clocks change!
Note
First week of proper training this autumn and am also using Attackpoint for the first time to aid motivation. The whole (!) world will be able to tell if I skip any more sessions or use work as an excuse for not training!
