All systems go.

I took a rest day after the Kilburn 7 miler to give my foot some time to heal. This worked perfectly because on Tuesday I ran to work and back again totaling 18 miles, the feet were ok but overall I was totally stuffed by the time I collapsed through the door. It's just a case of getting used to the mileage again, then on the Wednesday it was time for some speed work down at the club. 600 metres effort by 2 minutes rest with 8 of these to do, but after doing 5 reps a 400 metre sprint was thrown in by Club coach Rob Burn then returning back to finish the 600 metre efforts. The change of speed, the time spent running hard and the previous days mileage all added up for one hell of a tough session.
Then today it was an easy 6 miler followed by cycling to and from work and Finally the weekly gym session which went really well with some more personal bests.
It is a return back to the Blacksheep Race Series Championship this Sunday at Burton Leonard for a 10k multi terrain race. I'm not sure if this course is slightly long or just hard but it's a race I do like, probably a welcome change after so much road running. The final race is in September which I need to do to qualify as I missed two races early on in the series, the race being the Wetherby 10k, I should be starting to get some form back by then after six weeks of good training and with the Teespride 10k the week before Wetherby it should set me up nicely.
The Pinchinthorpe Plod Fell Race is looking tempting next Tuesday night, I will just have to see how I feel after recovering from Sunday's race.
