Training Log Archive: Cruachan

Very eventful run. Lovely for most of it- around town and down along river and back via Braham footpath. Less than a mile to go, got attacked and bitten by a dog (black Alsatian type) - reared up and took a chunk out of my chest. Flippin' hurt and had to go to hospital. Badly shaken and it spolit the day...

Around the village - warm up and down.

Histon Fun Run - was awake before 4 and in school at 5.30 to collect kids to film scenes for our play next week. Got back at 9.30, changed and jogged down to the village for the race. Had intended to run it fartlek style, but as soon as gun went, I just got into the flow of competing and ran it fairly intense throughout. Relaxed for first half but slowly died with lack of training, early start and humidity. Finished 4th and first Vet. Added bonus - 6 seconds faster than last year which completely shocked me as I thought I was about a minute slower when running. A great confidence boost ahead of Scotland....

Long and exhausting day at work - didnt get home til after 9.30 and need to be back at work at 5.30am!!!

Easy pace through Kings and over to CH...

6 laps of Cherry Hill loop at a steady pace - pushed the short steep climb. Hammy tight by end... and only 3 weeks and 2 days to the World Ranking event! Yikes!

Another monster day at work... didnt get home til after 10.

Hamstring...

Hamstring and very tired....
