Ticking over

After racing at the weekend, this week is simply a case of ticking over before I run a leg of the Cotswold Way Relay on Saturday, 11.7 miles with two massive hills! Had a day off on Monday as I simply ran out of time to run, so made up for it on Tuesday by doing a steady 35 minutes in the morning and then a speedwork session on the roads in the evening.

Started with a mile warm-up, then did 7 sets of (2 minutes hard running (approx 5km pace) followed by 1 minute easy). The first couple of efforts were good but I always find that the recovery bit gets slower and slower as the session goes on! Was covering good ground on the efforts, and finished with a mile warm-down.

Adidas Tempo 4's for the road sessions, still my current favourite shoe!
