Another good week, with 2 hill days (and 2 rest days).
Monday - brilliant day off. Ran for 5hrs in Snowdonia taking in all the Glyderau. Worked out at about 11 miles and 5500'. SLower going on the rocky stuff around Tryfan, but really enjoyed it. Dried mango seemed to work a treat.
Tuesday - 9M felt very heavy legged so ran round the hill session i took steadily and let others do the efforts. Tried one effort and realised that was silly, but running steadily was not a problem.
Weds - rest day (club committee)
Thursday - 6M club session, short sprints on the snowy field! Very hard efforts and ran well - fastest in the group.
Friday - Rest - just plain busy
Sat - XC was cancelled so i did an 8.5 mile run up to Eccleston to meet Alison who was doing her marathon long run training. About 7.45 pace
Sun - Another big hill day - managed to find 4500' climbing and 14 miles around Moel Famau. It's hard running long there because it's a bit contrived, but also it's so runnable, so there is no respite. Only the gully provided a short chance to walk. This is excellent training though. Melting snoe made whole run feel like it was through a giant puddle!
Totals - 48.5 miles, @11,000' ascent.
Looking forward to weekend in the lakes next week - a big climbing week. Have got Friday off to get a long one in before going walking/running with the group. Superb.
