On Tuesday I completed a bonkers mix of flat reps and hill reps with the Chippenham Harriers.
Tonight I covered 10km around the white horse in Westbury. The sun was going down and once I'd climbed the hill to the top the view of Wiltshire was pretty impressive.
This week I have completed a fast Tuesday session working with a group of Harriers on our speed endurance.
On Thursday I did a 10 mile trail run around Box. It got dark pretty quickly so I'll be investing in a headtorch very soon.
This weekend my wife is competing so I'll be lucky to get out, but I think a bit of rest will do me good.
A solid 12th place today at a beautiful half marathon trail race in Malborough. My time was 1:33:52
I'm feeling fitter and stronger than I have in a long time. Happy runner!
Progress Report.
Training is going well. Every month I complete a 5.5 mile loop of Corsham Court. Tonight I was 2min 15 quicker than in August and 4min 15 quicker than in July.
Hopefully I'll race well on Sunday
Malmesbury 10km
A nice hilly road race in the rain for the Chippenham Harriers. I finished 23rd in 42 mins. Im a very happy runner at the moment as training is going very well.
I'm very pleased that my long slow hilly runs over the summer have given me the endurance to run fast.
Chippenham Half Marathon.
It's always brilliant to take a step back from your own training and racing to support others on their running adventures. As a Marshall at the 1 mile and 12 mile point on Sundays race I was privileged to support a few of my AVR rivals on their quests for personal bests. It's also great to see all the new runners accomplishing something they have trained hard for.
Hill Reps
Last night I completed another tough hill session. My legs felt tired after the weekends race and marshalling duties but I battled through. This week I am running on Thursday night, and then racing an off road half marathon on Sunday in Malborough.
