Sunday May 20th
11.5 miles
Back into double digits. Lovely run with sunflowerro in the park this morning. Having company makes the miles tick by so much faster. Last mile was a bit of a struggle so sent Ro off to do a speedy last mile as i plodded back. Double digits and a short sleeved top today things are looking up

Really enjoyed that run this morning. It's ages since I've had company on the long run. Makes some difference so it does

jcsmum

I did miss you both, but the sight of that finish line this morning was just so sweet. We'll catch up in a few weeks no doubt

Wednesday 23th May
5 miles
Todays session was meant to be intervals but after a trip to the PT kept it plain and simple.
Thursday 24th May
5 miles
1 mile easy, 4x300m, 4x200* 1 mile easy

- @ 1 mile race pace with double the amount of time taken per rep as recovery and Double that recovery between the 300m s and 200m s

Took my mile time to be 7:29. holy c**p this was tough. Was hot out too and being a red head and freckled does not help matters :eek: There is a whole big rig ma role before i even go out running when its sunny with the special sun cream for the face and then the factor 50 for everywhere else :rolleyes: i was knackered before i started anyway the splits ranged from 7:25-7:35. I just had nothing left in me when it came to the 200's. But i have to say i am well impressed with that session

I thought maybe I could pace you 8:23 pace from the finish line to the bar only I would say. And it wouldn't want to be any more than 800m

Good running Nules
