Onwards and upwards (Hopefully !!)

My recent training has been going very well.Having kind of figured out how to train properly through amongst others the advice on a london club called Serpentine.My quarter mile intervals have come down to 67-68 secs and ive knocked 10-15 secs off my half mile times 2.22.This for some people is proberly easy but for me it represents a big breakthrough and cant wait for a spell of road races ive got lined up starting tonight at Newburn(6.7 mile).

Back to the Grindstone

Nearly over the stiffness and getting back into the training.Looking forward to doing lots of speedwork which will hopefully result in improving my times for 5k,5mile and 10k.Recently ive taken in a lot of information about training and realize my base mileage pace is too quick so ive begun to do my morning short run over cross country where you cannot fail to run slower.Monday gone i done some 90 second intervals (60r) and ran really quick on tired legs.Im now off to the Running club for a Pyramid effort session.Fingers Crossed.

Winter Series Handicap

Many a great weekend day with picnics with the family, a bit of football, homemade boat racing down the river and perhaps where my love for hill running was subconsciously born running up the fells with my brother who was good going up and I was good going down hill. High fell events put on this event as part of there high fell trail series but the terrain meant this was a winter fell race in freezing conditions ! The race organiser Barry had sorted an entry which was great after the recent good news of my boy Kais all clear from cancer which at 17 was hard for everyone concerned. I knew quite a few faces and off I went for my warm up the start of the Ingram trail half which I won 2 years ago and given the fact I didn't really prepare apart from one 5 am fell run a week before I kind of accepted victory wouldn't be mine especially after spotting young Briggs o...
