Another early start this morning and I nearly stuffed it up after turning the alarm off I made the mistake of not getting straight out of bed and next time I looked at the clock it was 5.39am. Managed to meet Chris in time and we didn’t have to do the horse this morning so we looped the Village, just over 13km in an hour which was a good effort. Plenty of people out at that time of the morning walking, jogging and riding bikes which is really good to see. Felt pretty good when I got home but it was pretty warm so I had a good sweat on. I didn’t get the stretch off I needed especially with hill sprints on the agenda for lunchtime. Will let you know how we get on….

Part II

Another warm lunchtime run but thankfully it was a little cloudy. I think we both struggled to get into a decent run before the Peak and I for one was quite keen on avoiding the sprints and just running around the trails. But Chris was keen to get the sprints in so I obeyed the team Captain and struggled through the first one. I managed to come right and I was reasonably pleased with my efforts once we finished. I had my heart rate maxing out at 175bpm and then it quickly came back to 120-125bpm which was a pleasing recovery. We had a good run back into the village and that’s the second to last double up done, just Thursday to go now. Not running tomorrow as I have a funeral to go to but will be back into it Thursday morning and will be back on the Blog then as well.
