Training Is Back On Track.

Thursday nights track session involved a paramid of 200, 300, 400, 600, and 800 meters, and then back down to 200 again. A group of mainly 'veteran' runners from Spenborough do these track workouts every Thursday night. In recent times I have only done solitary track work on the athletics field at the back of my house, so this was quite a shocker for me and it developed into some short battles between me and John Gallagher. Some of the other lads had done the Three Peaks Race a few days before and I was lucky that my legs were fresh. I didn't want a really hard session because I had entered the Rothwell 10k -which is on tommorow. I have also got the first John Carr 5k race which is on the Wednesday(6th), then the Leeds Half Marathon on the Sunday(10th). I will not be pushing too hard at Rothwell tommorow because of all the races I have entered and will need most of my energy for the Leeds Half.

Certainly is, well done for a storming run today - you must be dead chuffed with your recent performances. Great race today at Rothwell and hope you continue to maintain form for the summer. Might see you in a race sometime soon! RB

Thanks for the comment RB. Yes I am chuffed with the Rothwell time
(34.29). It's certainly a P.B course - with the first half been slightly down hill. I reached 5k in 16.28 which would have been another P.B(for 5K). I then hit the slight head wind on the long drag to the finish, spoiling a possible sub 34 minutes time. The idea of me just jogging round the course(so I don't burn out for Sundays Leeds Half) didn't work out as planned.

Hope your recovery is going well. Might see you at the John Carr 5k.

All the Best
