Tues- core Weds- 1 Cawynnen run. It's a circular run approx 1.3miles long mostly uphill. 10m 55 Thurs- 10 laps of sprint 150m, jog 250m without stopping, and I managed it! Fri- off Sat- 4 mile run, blackrock route. Not done this since March, time of 26m10. Sun- 3x 1km with 1m between, the uphill from x-roads route. I think I should give myself 1.5mins, I think I would be stronger for it! |

Tues 26th July- race at Exeter. Go out slow as the 10x150m from Thurs and the hills have made my hamstring tight. First lap 68! But overtake whole field on the 2nd lap and win in 2m15. Nice feeling! Weds- carwynnen hill- 2m03 Thurs- 2x 800m. Hamstring much better. According to coach, times were 1m59 and 2m05! Had a chat about the lack of translation from training into races and I do agree that I do not a competitive attitude. It is not a driver for me. I have been enjoying competing this year more than ever, but that is not the same thing. So a best of 1m59 in training, but still 2m13 in a race! Sunday 31st- 800m race again, 2m16. So frustrating I cannot get in races anywhere I can in training. Followed by a 400 in 61 and a relay, again split of 61 Monday- 5x 300 with jog 100m recovery. Tues- 2x 2km of my usual route new best time of 7m 16. 2m30s rest and second time of 7m30 Weds- 10x 50m sprints followed by clean and jerks Thurs- 4x 150m with jog back recovery. 800m; 2x150. Fri- carwynnen run. Unfortunately my stop watch didn’t start, so don’t know the time! Sat- morning- 5x 200 at cross roads afternoon- carwynnen run. 11m17 Sun- 1x carwynnen hill in 2m05 |

Tues and Weds- off Thurs- 12 laps of jog bends and sprint straights Fri- off Sat- 2 mile run Sun- 1 carwynnen hill in 2m03 Monday- 2x 800m. in 2m07 and 2m14. Hmm, I am suffering with pinching in my calves lately on some runs, that and heavy hamstrings. I think it is probably that my trainers are too old. Time to replace them! |
