Workout with Lu. After 10 minute warm up we did a longer loop with a big climb near the end which we used to raise HR. Then we did the 1.7 km yellow course at a steady pace, first, and then fast as possible. I gave her a two minute start as an incentive and made up over 2 and a half minutes on first lap but didn't catch her as she made up almost a minute. Ran loop once more as warm down but walked up hills. Not too tired from yesterday's efforts so must be right over infection.

Last minute entry. Was a bit caught out by the numerous ups and downs and underfoot conditions which made it impossible to find a smooth rhythm. And I could hardly get going again after the last stile. But judged pace about right as managed to hang onto position even though I was fading by the end. Mile splits very roughly 6.20, 6.30, 6.50 (through cow field), 7.30. Lacking cardiovascular fitness.

Walk around Stansted Forest with Shelagh and Phil. The area was a bit short on detail but would be pretty good to run through, like Winkins.
