About Me
I started running in July 2004 to train for my first ever race, the Bristol Half Marathon. Since then I have run for 2 running clubs, I changed clubs with the hope of making some big improvements over the next few years. After trying my hands at virtually every distance from 800m up to half marathon over the course of about 3 years, I've discovered I quite like the shorter stuff.
At the start of 2008 I decided to switch to 800m/1500m and changed my training to target those distances. In my first track season I managed to get my 800m PB down from 2:16 to 2:09 and 1500m PB from 4:51 to 4:29. I'm hoping to make similar improvements in 2009, but first I have the XC season to tackle!
My long term target now is to become a member of the British Milers Club (BMC), but to do that I have to achieve one of the qualifying times (i.e. 1:55 for 800m or 3:55 for 1500m), you can see the full list of qualifying times here britishmilersclub.com

Swunch. My first lunch swim and sauna since I got ill. Much better with short hair this time! Right shoulder is causing me problems and I feel like it's getting worse.

Running - Fartleks
Runch fartlek in Holt with 12 efforts of approx 30 to 60 seconds. Suffered with the heat but not as much as I thought I would. Finished with a bit of core and stretching on the grass in the sun.

Running - Hill Work
I drove to Hallatrow after work and did my short 'sprints' hill session. My goal was to do 12 reps but I managed 16 which was great. I could easily increase that to 20 in another week or two. I found it hard going, plus my times were probably a few seconds slower than previously (plus my running style is probably terrible!) but otherwise I did quite well.

46:10 Running - General
Dad and I drove to the tarka trail (from parents house) and after eventually finding somewhere to park, I did an out and back away from Bideford while dad walked instead. The trail started slightly downhill but then soon started to climb gently uphill the whole way until the half way point. I planned to run 7 miles (on very little food) so used

7.2mi,
Running - Fartleks
Runch fartlek from the office doing the loop across to Lower South Wraxall. I did 12 efforts ranging from approx 40 to 90 seconds, some using hills and most flat. Felt a little sick before the run after eating cornflakes for breakfast, plus a little low on energy and tired from weekend plus lack of sleep - but otherwise a decent run.

55:03 Running - Medium Long Run
Out and back along Radstock cycle track after a long and stressful day, plus shopping in Tesco with Eunice and Tyler. Legs felt tired but I was pleased to average under 7 min mile pace without relatively too much effort (i.e. less effort than Sunday's run).

7.8mi,
Running - Hill Work
Did a hill session on the 'batch' at the back of the house for the first time. Did a loop warm up via Waterside Farm (lot's of stinging nettles taking over the path). Then did 4 x short uphill strides followed by 8 x approx 1 minute up and then along the top (about 30 seconds up and then 30 seconds flat) with a steady/strong effort the whole way and then long jog back recovery. Felt heavy and tired but managed to get through it OK. After 4 reps some dog walkers came along with a very aggressive dog, but luckily he was on a lead, although it did make the next 3 reps a little stressful. Cooled down via the woods towards Radstock and then finished with a tiny bit of core.

4.1mi,
Running - Recovery Run
Took Eunice for her run but since my parents were looking after Tyler thought I'd quickly get changed and go for a jog while I'm waiting. Did a little loop up to Babington House (and down a new footpath) and then back via the farm. Legs were very tired and sore, especially calves. But I went really slow and it was nice to get out. The rain eventually stopped, but only about half way around.

Running - Pyramids
Did an out and back runch with a pyramid of 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 minutes and then 3 x 30 seconds fast. Felt a little tired and flat but got going felt keep solid effort throughout. Felt like I was running a little slow on the efforts but hopefully it wasn't too bad. Did a bit of core on the grass after.

10.2mi,
Running - Long Run
Did a loop from Farrington Farm Shop down to Greyfield Wood and back via Paulton. Longest run for a long time. Felt quite tired from the start - tripped up and ended up on the floor after just a couple of miles! Used music to help me get around. Joined Eunice and Tyler in the farm shop after.

Pre-work out and back along BOA canal towards Trowbridge. Did minute on - minute off for 16 efforts using stopwatch timer. Felt quite tired, a little heavy and a little stiff warming up but not too bad. Ran the efforts between 1500m and 3000m pace.

56:30 Running - Medium Long Run
Out and back along cycle track from Radstock. Felt very tired and nearly didn't run. Legs felt very heavy and tired. I also thought i'd run 8 miles so was pleasantly surprised when i remeasured. Second half was about 90 seconds faster than the first. Felt like i was running slower than the actual pace despite tired legs/body. Did a little bit of core at home after. Felt sick before and after too.
