Earlier on in the week I had worked out a route near to work where I could run hard for 12 mins. I also made arrangements for a friend to take me to my starting point. Today she was sick but decided I would run back and have a slightly longer lunch. So at lunch time I ran hard for 12 minutes to see how far I could run. I also made my friends place bets so see how far I would run. Their guesses were 1.5 miles, 2.5 miles, 3.5 miles and 4.5 miles. I had managed to run 1:48 miles and was pleased with that.
Splits 07:58, 8:26.
I then decided to try and take a short cut back. I entered a little housing estate and was hoping to come out the other side of it, back onto the main road. I was laughing to myself as I got lost in this housing estate and going down alley ways finding a dead end. So in the end I covered an extra half mile running back. I just ran slowly.

At the club tonight there were only a few of us, the hardcore ones! We did the warm up to the Leas. The session was 10 x 1 min with 1 min recovery, 10 x 30 sec with 30 sec recovery. We ended up doing 5 x 1 min downhill and 5 x 1 min uphill and into the wind which was very strong. Then the same with 30 secs. Tonight we ran together, me, Lynda, Barry and Dave. We had to concentrate on the way we push with our arms. By the end of the session I got the hang of it. It was so hard and tough running against the wind.
Splits for 1 mins downhill : 6:31, 6:41, 6:39, 6:43, 7:14 - uphill 7:58, 7:34, 7:58, 7:43, 8:01
Splits for 30 secs downhill: 6:56, 6:48, 6:42, 6:49, 6:58 - uphill 7:56, 7:37, 8:05, 8:15, 8:23, 7:33
Sorry guys we did an extra 30 secs at the end!
Distance covered 5.90 miles
