Uyuni Dec 2017 5:35pm, 2 Dec 2017 1,221 posts	Quote Pin Uyuni It was absolutely filthy lark, not windy for once but the hills and the mud was there in abundance

oi you Dec 2017 4:42pm, 3 Dec 2017 385 posts	Quote Pin oi you I ran in the Kent Vets champs yesterday at Dartford. The course was very nearly dead flat with no hint of mud at all, just some damp grass. I was quicker than last year on the same course if only by a few seconds, but quicker is quicker. I was a bit perturbed to see my download show a heart-rate peak of 185 in the first half mile before it dropped back to a more believable 150ish. I'm sure it couldn't really get that fast. It never has before. One to watch I think.

It was a new course to me and harder I think than some of the old N Staffs league courses like Leek. The hills and rough terrain just didn’t stop. I am aching all over today!

ndellar Jan 2018 5:01pm, 6 Jan 2018 3,436 posts	Quote Pin ndellar Everyone have fun at the county championships today? We were at Warley Woods for Warks / Worcester. Having had a heavy cold over Xmas and not done much speed work since before that it felt a bit like hard work!

I always dislike the step up after xmas...well done for getting out ndellar. I watched at Middlesex today. Some great running by our U17 ladies saw them take a gold medal and team trophy. (our club is annoying split across two counties because very few people can afford to live in Richmond anymore )
