Wk4 – 7.45M speedwork
After my abismal attempt at 7 miles of speedwork last Wednesday (- I only managed 2.5 miles before stopping the treadmill), I thought I would try a different approach. Here was the plan before last nights run: Run outside, and not on … Continue reading
Wk49 – 8k progressive treadmill speedwork

As I already mentioned… 5 days off last week due to my cold… which I’m over. Then this week… I’ve been restricted by the snow. I managed to get to the gym on Monday morning before the snow came, but … Continue reading
Wk49 – Snowed in
Oh my god… 5 days off it last week due to the cold… then a run on Monday morning before the snow and ice came…and now I seem to have cabin fever!! I HATE it when I want to train … Continue reading
Wk49 – Restart and recovery
So I spent most of Friday in bed, sleeping for the most part and had some very strange dreams. After all that sleep I started to feel better and backed off the paracetamol and decongestant. On Saturday I had agreed … Continue reading
