Week 7 (12/2/07 – 18/2/07) [Mileage for the week = 49]

Mon (12/2)

Good to be at home and not at work so I was able to run at the club. As we are racing this weekend I put in 11miles. Steady for the first 6-7 and then kicked on up the Bristol Road to Northfield and back round to Linden Road. Ran the last 5 in just over 30 min. Cruising.

Tue (13/2)

Rest.

Wed (14/2)

Decisions decisions. Settled on 5.5 miles but ran 4.5 of those as intervals around the 5k route. First was woefully slow 9:51, then 9:20 and a final one of 9:05. Nicely buzzing.

Thur (15/2)

Back out with the club and a slow 6 mile (43min). Ran the Man In the Moon with Dean and discussed Saturdays tactics along the way.

Fri (16/2)

I was going to go out for a gentle 4 miles but I’d already booked a session with Jo. Left feeling pummelled so I decided against running!

Sat (17/2)

The last XCountry League race of the season.

Nothing to say here. All in my write up on the website.

Ran well. Certainly starting to find some form. Wait and see how I fair tomorrow.

Sun (18/2)

Haha as I write this I’m absolutely k*******d.

I slogged round for 2h 20min and just managed 19 miles! 7:22 pace. Very different to the 6:48 pace I ran 16 miles in a couple of weeks ago. I guess its all good for you but as I write this my knee aches, my eyes are drooping and the stairs are looking like Mount Everest! Afraid this is why this weeks entries are quite brief.

Ah bliss. Next Sunday I should be running a 13 mile race. Sounds so much more enjoyable.
