Trainingsession 19th - 25th December

Sunday - 90 mins in very deep snow in Oxford. Some bits it was so deep I could barely move. 7.24 miling (12)

Monday - AM - 48 mins on the roads around the Heath. I couldn't see any of the paths on the Heath because of the snow so had to run on the roads and do my best not to fall over. Pretty slow. 7.31 miling (6.5)

             PM - 49mins with James Savage along he canals and Victoria Park. 6.21 miling (8)

Tuesday - AM - 38 mins easy around the roads on the Heath. Very slow again... 8.01 miling (5)

             PM - 5 x 2k along the Embankment with Kent A.C. Aim was to relax for 1k, then pick it up for 2nd k. Used John gilbert as a good target and moved past him and away in the 2nd k. A bit slippy in places but generally good. Only nearly took out one tourist. Avge mile pace was (4.45, 4.47, 4.46, 4.55, 4.54). Last one was slow as no one was with me, and not sure what the one before that was slower. Maybe went off a bit easier. (10.5)

Wednesday - 67 mins steady running to work. I always use my longer Wednesday run to listen to the Football Ramble podcast. An excellent and funny football podcast. 6.50 miling (10)

Thursday - AM - 48 mins easy to work. 7.04 miling (7)

               PM - 20/20/20 where pace increases for each 20 mins. I had to do the fastest bit mainly on packed snow on the grass, which was quite hard work. Went along lines of 6.30/5.50/5.25 miling. Last mile was 5.02 though along the clear canal. (11)

Friday - REST

Saturday - 63 mins on Xmas Day. 6.52 miling and very icy in places (9)

79 miles. A better week. Ice made the sessions not quite ideal but still pretty decent running. Some slow runs due to snow also but never mind.
