Nicks In Town

  Just did 8miles around a sunny but windy Porthcawl, Nick has sore feet so came on the bike. I say sore feet in fact his left foot is as bad as I have ever seen a foot to be honest, he must have about 3 of the worst blisters I have ever seen!

So Nick came down Wednesday to stay for a few days to catch up and do a bit of running himself with London only around the corner. He joined me for a 6mile easy run Thursday morning and then came to Neath track in the evening where I did 8 x 400m. I didn't want to do a massive session because I am racing Sunday but with a pull on the bum last weekend I wanted to really test it to see if it would crack under pressure. It went well but I think I ate to much at lunch time and felt quite heavy.

58s...72s...58s....72s....58s....72s....58s...72s

I had 2 minutes after the fast rep and 1minute after the slow rep. Chris Higgs took me through 200m but the wind on the home straight made things a bit harder for me, was swimming a bit on the last rep!

Obviously I am still a bit annoyed with how last weekend went so will probably be doing a 10k on Sunday instead before the half marathon on the 29^th. I like to do a shorter race before I run a half as it just makes the pace of the half feel much easier, I would have preferred two weeks in between but you got to roll with it I suppose.

So as Nick ice's his feet....again, I will get him to answer some of the questions on the forum.
