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 Link (roll over me to see where I go)

Running - General
Pre-Bath carnaval run. Did the loop to SOTF and then added a little extra loop in where the lake is (next time I hope to extend that loop where the church is) and then back with the extra mile loop added at the end. Felt quite heavy and lethargic for most of the run but pleased to get the miles in.

Running - General
Pre-work morning run. DId the loop where I got lost in reverse and moreless managed to get it right this time, I just got lost twice a little bit but soon got back on track. At least I know the route in full now! The first part of the run was fine because it was shady but as I started running in the sun/heat I was feeling it and started to struggle a little. Jack n' Jill hill was a tough climb! Did 6 x ~100m strides along the road after.

Did a morning run to SOTF and then explored the Holcombe old church and went up the lane a little. Headed back and did the extra mile loop, plus 6 x ~100m strides. Felt quite tired and heavy, plus the wind and rain made me feel heavier. Nice to get the miles in.

Pre work out and back run in BOA. Felt very heavy and hot today. No strides at the end because I felt too tired.

Running - General
Pre work run along canal from BOA car park to Trowbridge (added extra loop around wooded area half way) and back followed by 6 x ~ 100m fast strides. Did a bit of core after stretching too. Felt heavy from yesterday's run plus the heat. Despite the canal being flat, it also felt like an uphill climb!

10mi,
Running - Long Run
Longest run of the year so far. Did a loop from home to Radstock, then up to White City and to parents home. Popped in for some water and fruit quickly (about half way). That helped a lot as I was suffering with the heat. Then continued to MSN station and across housing estate to trading estate, the extra little loop behind estate and back home followed by 4 strides.

Running - Intervals
Pre-work "session". Ran easy up towards SOTF and then short way through the woods, up the hill and then did 5 x ~400m efforts in the field with jog back. The ground was soft, uneven and lumpy so it was hard to run well or fast. After that I did a mini fartlek on the way back (5 efforts of about 25-60 seconds) then a bit of core in the garden.

Out and back from home along cycle track towards Mells. Felt very heavy and tired from yesterday - legs felt very clunky. Also, feel like I have a cold or throat infection coming along - runny nose, throat a little sore and feel congested.

8.5mi,
Running - Medium Long Run
Pre work out and back run from BOA carpark towards Bath along canal. Felt very heavy and tired running today. Legs felt like led and head felt heavy and full of mucus. Got a bit of a runny nose, so definitely have a cold or something similar. It was a bit of a struggle the whole way - I even considered heading back after about 2 miles. It started raining while I was stretching and then got wet walking to the office. Much cooler today than it has been recently.

Pre-work run from home. Felt very very heavy and low on energy. Really struggled from the start. I had planned to run 7-8 miles but I cut it short and struggled my way back home. Did the SOTF loop short version).
