Week 3 (15/1/07 – 21/1/07) [Mileage for the week = 36]

Mon (15/1)

Having to work away in Manchester. A big zero tonight as late back to the hotel.

Tue (16/1)

Made my acquaintances with the gyms treadmill. Not convinced it was measuring distance correctly. Managed 30min which I pushed. Somewhere between 5-6 miles having started slowly.

Wed (17/1)

Hoped to get home and see if Kev fancies a run but I was late back so another big zero.

Thur (18/1)

Planned to go to the club tonight but I had to travel down to London and got caught up in the rail chaos. No run……just a couple of pints of Guiness when I got to the club at 9:30.

Fri (19/1)

Right so this week has been a complete disaster. I am going to have to hurt myself to make up. Went for a 9 miler, running Harborne Hills and adding an extra mile. It was still very windy. Ran at a steady 6:45 pace. Felt fresh but ended up with a sore hamstring.

Sat (20/1)

Cross country training at Cofton. Small lap warm up and 30min of constant 450m running with 1 min recovery ~ 3 miles (5000m), 1 mile warm down. Legs burnt but it was a good session. Shattered the rest of the day.

Sun (21/1)

16m run. Kev and I missed each other so I only had myself to punish. 8m (57:30) easy out along Harborne hills upto Quinton and over to the Uni. Then 4m along the canal at a tempo pace (26min) then a shattered last 4m (32m) through Northfield. If yesterday I was shattered then today I was exhausted!
