I moved to a more civilised area (Glenn thinks I live in Sandy I never have 😉)

I think I know where you live HOD. Only you think it's more civilised than Sandy though.

Ignore the nasty man Rosehip. He wasn't brought up properly.

rubbish, the hiil from Cardington Hangers is much worse - and what about Dunstable Downs?
but I'll agree that one small part of Sandy is pretty uncivilised!

HR training seems to be serving me well at the moment. Really enjoying the ying and yang of proper easy runs with the challenging harder sessions, I rationalise to myself when I'm running easy that I can enjoy the freedom of running as fast as I feel like the following session and when my legs are a bit fatigued the next day I remind myself that it's just a pootle day, no need to stress out.
I also ran for the first time to my hr in a race yesterday, I found it really very refreshing. Despite the hilly nature of the run my pace remained pretty even over the distance and I didn't want to die by the half way point or question my sanity. I actually felt more in control which is a first as I've been pretty poor at reigning myself in on the previous 2-3 races.

I've always enjoyed racing to heart rate Debbie, there's something oddly serene about it.

I've just been reading a book callefd slow burn by stu mittleman, it's a great read, he talks about what you experience holistically as you work in the different zones, what you see, hear, feel, how your body responds, it's fascinating, because I relate exactly to what he describes but not linked it to the hr zones before. He's a big proponent of mindfulness and being present in the run. He has yet another formula for working out the zones, and his are based on three zones with the middle zone being that super special sweet spot of balancing running effortlessly with you might come undone - that bit in your running when everything feels awesome, you're enjoying yourself immensely, breathing is controlled, body is relaxed and you have a smile on your face but you know you are working. I'll stock to my hr zones for now, but it's a good read anyway as he had a brilliant perspective.
