Sharkie Mar 2021 9:00am, 31 Mar 2021 17,809 posts	0 Sharkie A lot of the league meets I 'usually' do are evening affairs, SPR, and yes definitely trouble sleeping. I think with competitive stuff it's the adrenaline still coursing round. I often write a race report before even trying to go to bed. Not so bad with training sessions unless they're unusually challenging.
Gobi Mar 2021 9:12am, 31 Mar 2021 73,770 posts	0 Gobi So I had a call with Cannock and Staffs vets team manager yesterday. Looks like I will be joining their club. We won't move until the summer but will join now and hope to meet a few on social runs as we often visit the bosses mother and brother.
SPR Mar 2021 9:13am, 31 Mar 2021 33,779 posts	0 SPR I've noticed it with races before but don't really mind there. It's probably partly due to me usually training in the mornings so running is part of my wake up routine then when you add the higher challenge of a track session rather than a general run... Probably just need to get used to it and maybe be more strict with my shutdown routine when I get back from sessions.
Sharkie Mar 2021 9:15am, 31 Mar 2021 17,810 posts	0 Sharkie Definitely to do with getting used to it.
Sharkie Mar 2021 9:16am, 31 Mar 2021 17,811 posts	0 Sharkie Oh I actually did ONE jump in the pit last night (from a guessed run up). For a technically crap jump it was quite encouraging.
anthonyj89 Apr 2021 8:34am, 1 Apr 2021 348 posts	0 anthonyj89 I ran 14.42 at Battersea Park last night. Not bad for a season opener during marathon training! More to come later on.

SPR Apr 2021 8:47pm, 1 Apr 2021 33,787 posts	0 SPR Entered the 1500m at Nuneaton a week on Sunday as well as a few other races today. Second track session today. 2 x (6 x 400m) with 60 sec jog and a lap (4 mins) between sets. (75.1, 74.8, 73.2, 71.8, 71.8, 72.9) then (73.6, 71.0, 73.7, 71.8, 73.7, 72.9). Pacing could be better but all under current 3000m PB pace so solid.
