Training Log Archive: Thraws

Brisk pub walk with Jan through the woods between Wisborough Green and Fittleworth (Hawkhurst Court, The Mens, Bedham, Bognor Common, Brinksole Heath, Flexham Park). Stayed out the pub, though, to recover from previous evening's over-indulgence. Lovely day, despite forecast.

Went in for a bit of unpaid o/t, and got the extra benefit of an hour on the bike.

Then went for a tempo run on my 10k training route. Now I was pushing fairly hard, and I did have to stop at 4 miles for the loo, and I was a bit lighter after a week's camping, but I didn't expect to be 1min 45secs quicker than the last time I ran this! That's the training effect of a few road and fun run league races I suppose, a sub-39 10k pace.

Recce run for FF with Jan. Good opportunity to scope out all the little ups and downs and separate the fast road running from the more awkward trail bits. Lovely route on a fine evening. Steady pace throughout but will need to be about 9 mins (almost 2 mins/mile) quicker for the race.
