Happy Christmas - (24/12)

With a new job in the bag the days of being able to run twice a day may become limited so I guess I had better make the most of it over Christmas and the New Year.

Recent focus has been to increase the length of tempo runs using a hilly route near to Woodbank Park and follow that up with some fast track reps - its hard work but normally a session you can squeeze into an hour.

Christmas is always a great time for great pack runs followed by some tea and cake, so last week it was over to Michaela and Paul's, Monday is over to Tom and Roz and perhaps I should arrange one myself !

All we need now is some snow to make everything all Christmasy and I think that might be some time next week going off the weather.

Quick catch up - (10/12)

Two good solid weeks of training and starting to think about Christmas.

Its much harder getting in the quality sessions now its icy and some of the recent hill sessions have had to be in the park on grass as its been far too slippy.

Had a good race at the Famous Grouse fell race a week ago finishing 22nd and two minutes quicker than last year.
