Thursday 3rd August
Week 10 of 11
6/7km | Hill Reps
Having missed my mid-week secret training long-run, I contemplated doing it last night but concluded that I lacked the mojo to do it and it was probably too close to Striders on Saturday for my old bones to cope. So I headed across the park t Darley Road. I did 8 reps, untimed because I forgot my watch.
I did OK. Took it easy and concentrated on form.
I have no niggles - today.

Wednesday 2nd August
Week 10 of 11
I had a secret training run scheduled however the Bride announced when I got home that she was off to Jackson's School for a meeting and I was accordingly on baby sitting duties.
I'll take that as fate and be happy that I avoided that out of control semi-trailer that would have cleaned me up half way up Heartbreak Hill.

Tuesday 1st August
7km | easy
Week 10 of 11
As usual I was a bit sore after my Sunday race. Yeah no amount of stretching seems to avoid the DOMS. I saw Ellie mentioned in her blog the other day cool down and I thought - interesting concept. I must look into that. I also thought I might buy myself a pair of long SKINS and wear them around the house all day for recovery. That seems to be the go. I'll probably duck out to Rebel this morning and buy a pair.
Anyway the run was uneventful and boring.
I had no niggles that day.

hehe - my "cool downs" after training are often the hardest bit as i have trashed my legs and am completely exhausted and inconveniently live at the top of a hill...
that mud cake is a sneaky one...
Congrats on your great run down at the Bay mate - I love the map you produced too. Where did you get that from?
As for the skins, I was Cr's biggest sceptic - but now swear by them. Only for recovery (or cool downs), and never for running. In fact, to be totally honest I reckon they're made of pretty crappy material around the crotch. Most tri-shorts are heaps more comfortable down there, so I wouldn't dream of running in them.
They're fantastic at eliminating DOMS though :)
Good luck in the Striders 10k tomorrow Gronk. Practice for C2S and work that uphill!!!!
