Thames Path and Arenig Fawr race

Trying to get back into the swing of regular training and not a great week, but not bad either.

  • Monday : 14 miles with rucksack along Thames path from Reading to Streetly in Dark. A fine run it was too. Some parts were not that flat and some of the path does not follow the river (hence wondering round a house estate in the dark where the signs pointed me)
  • Tuesday : Rest
  • Wednesday : 5 miles on coast path plus some climb
  • Thursday :Rest (actually just did not have time)
  • Friday : Down to sea and back (2 miles 500ft)
  • Saturday : 4 miles coast path plus some climb
  • Sunday : Arenig Race, 7 miles and 2K of climb. Not a great time, but had a cracking descent. 51 out of about 75, so OK, but shows that I am not race fit. Did recover very quick if we compared to the state I would have been on after running a similar time in 2008.
Rowen has been selected for the country cross country, very pleased and looking forward to going along to that.
