Tuesday, Week 6

1M jog, then 10 x 400m fast with 200m jog recoveries, then 1M jog

Really cold. Freezing fog on a day it never got above zero.

Decided on a run round the streets of Beeston rather than a trip to the track. Did 10 very consistent repeats around a surprisingly grippy pavement circuit - slowest 1:28, fastest 1:26. Very comfortable and getting mentally prepared for the race on Sunday.

Monday, Week 6

4 Miles, Easy

Last evening of my week off work and a jog into a diffuse dusk. Running on the road between Horsforth and Rawdon looking out over the Aire Valley it looked like one of Turner's experimental whirls of Black, Orange, Yellow and Green.

Easy lope back through the rush hour, not really ready to return to work.
