Bilat rest week

Fourth week of the Bilat V02 routine, done usual 4 reps of a 1/4 mile hill. Nice and steady.

Thrussington Fun Run Sat 20th

My annual trip off road. Considering I ran 10k last Sunday non stop, had to walk some parts of this little fun run course. Stream crossings hay bales more stream crossings muddy banks. Great stuff. Seems some much tougher than the road. Good fun though.

Bilat Tueasday 3

Tough ole night tonight. Operating at 105% of V02 max pace. Avg 8:08 pace. Short but intense.

the Bells

Now race calendar has slowed down a bit, thought best get the bells moving again. Especially as how quick the year is going. Will be holiday time before you know it. Best do some work on the physique.

Kept it light and simple with a 12 KG.
20 around the body passes, 20 Fig 8 to hold, 20 sidebends, 20 windmills, 10 hack sqt, 20 suitcase, 10 behind neck goodmornings, 10 sumo, 20 press, 20 elbow rasie, 10 triple crush, 10 upright row, 20 rows, 10 bi curls.
Workload 2640kg. Nice intro back into it.

Markfield 10k

Markfield 10k today. Set off like a Loon. 8:50 first mile, what was I thinking? No matter. Come the finish another personal best. knocked 2 mins 10secs off previous best so happy with that. No warm up just straight into it. Probably explains scatty heart rate for tyhe first 3/4s of a mile. Suspect tech glitch with garmin as did not feel like that high to me.
Bit of a rest on the race front now. Concentrate on the Hinkley half.

Bilat Tuesday 2

Ran with Jen. Done the BilatTuesday 2 routine. Went rather well. operating at the low end of the pace range so going well.
Carrying bit of a calf issue after Sunday and perhaps ran a day too early but too late now.
The Splits.

Stilton 7

Have done no runs since Tuesday, not ideal. Bit of an issue with left knee, something needs clicking back into place.

So the Stilton 7. Not done this one before. 2 laps of an undulating course. Oddly seems to have a disproportionate amount of down hill. This seemed to give me some grief in the calf area smack on the 6 mile mark. Seems calf was in compression rather than tension as normal. Might be that might not. Ended up having an expensive last mile. Overall even with poor last mile came in at an avg of 10:02 pace. I am happy with that. Was sub 10 at 6 miles but hey ho.
