Event: (SROC,UK) FARLETON KNOTT
 

(SROC,UK) Event at Farleton knott. I am helping on the start and am hoping it will not be raining :(
i don't know which course i am doing but probs one where i will be running for about am hour like dave normally says

SROC, UK event at farleton knott and compass sport cup 1st round

Light Green - Splits

NORTHERN SCHOOLS CHAMPS i have been selected to run for LRGS at this competition. i have to run 5k and am making sure i am careful with my training during the week

Did a good warm up before the race. this involved shuttle runs with dynamic stretches. after the race went for a slow jog to slow breathing. then did some static stretches. the effects of doing the warm down are already obvious as i have only a slight stiff feeling in my legs which a sleep will fix

Slow jog due to race tomorrow and to make up for lack of exercise this week

had to do the set run course in games. it was a waste of time really as the course is totally shocking and noone takes the practices seriously. why don't we do the set run as a one off event? everyone knows the course and it's not as if two practices will make you perform significantly better anyway. mr bonney, director of sport mr what ever he calls him self, should be ashamed as he just waddles around in wellington boots and doesn't do a single thing.
however i did a good warm down afterwards and had a good shower, so everything is ok!

Missed interval training as i was really tired and training when tired is more likely to lead to injury. dave, can you think of a way to make intervals more interesting generally?

Did swimming in pe at school. played waz ball at the end :)

Missed SROC circuit training as i was away on a ccf field day. we were outside all the time and generally very active which may slightly make up

Did a proper cross country run involving mud, streams and marshes. it was also quite windy. went east along Quernmore road until had crossed the motorway. them went along a farm track and along the edge of knotts wood. went towards the farm loop of the set run. went along the dirt track until almost at central high school then but across the LRGS rugby pitches, then back to school. did a really good warm down as i'm running in a cross country race on saturday. my legs don't feel a slightest bit stiff!

Did a really good warm down after going for a fairly tough run
