White Horse Gallop 🐴

Today I kick started the distance phase of my training programme with a tough run up and around the white horse from Westbury.  I covered 8 miles in a hour that included a scramble (using hands) up past the White Horse.

As it's the holidays ill hopefully run everyday.

Marshfield Mudlark and Grittleton 10km

Last weekend I finished the Marshfield Mudlark in 25th place (250 runners) and today I finished the Grittleton 10km in 33rd.

The speed phase of my training has gone really well. 6 weeks ago 10km was taking me 42mins. Today 40.40. Next weekend is my last race for a while the White Horse Gallop in Westbury.

I'm looking forward to doing some longer (slower) runs again. Autumn is such a great season to be running as the routes are transformed into a riot of colour.

Happy runner

I'm running again!

So after 7 days of no running I finally managed to get out and complete 5.5 miles around Corsham Court. I hate being ill and not running. Especially when I'm moving well. Anyway the first run after a break is always the hardest. Hopefully I'll get out again Friday night and then I'm racing the Marshfield Mudlark on Sunday.

A disappointing week

So my race yesterday was cancelled and I've been hit with a bug. My last run was Tuesday where I was moving really well. I'm now climbing the walls! I hate it when I can't run. Maybe tonight...
