This is an extension of a circular run around my work place. 4 miles of steep hills. Tough running but very satisfying. The wind came and joined in today.

Why do they make trainers with a metal slot at the back of the heel so that this happens on a 5 miler?

It turns out it’s a run you find “comfortably hard” that means every run I have done since I started running has been a tempo run. I think?

Anyway today I did a 3 miler that was hard. A tempo run then.

Following a very loose running schedule today called for a very easy 4 miles. This kind of implies that i can change gear and go faster if the schedule says so. At the moment i have one speed and that is slow. Nevertheless it was nice to run slowly because i had to.

This weeks efforts.

A total of 15.80 Miles not bad for a fat bloater.

Yesterday evening i set off with the intention of having a really good hill session in the spirit of trying to diversify the type of running sessions i do. The hill is about 250 meters long and when i got there i stood at the bottom with gritted teeth and determination saying to myself “right! 10 of these” 5 reps later i was on my way home with my tail between my legs. Lets give that another go in a week or so.

Had to work this morning so when i got back i went for a 3 miler down the beech. Windy.
