So, what training should I do? Pocklington 10 in a week's time, I'll do a fartlek session. Up Mortimer Rd and along Oxspring Lane - a steady 8 mins. Push the next mile a bit to the TPT at Oxspring - 6min 44 sec. Now a really steady climb up Bower Hill to the top road and the greenhouse - 8min 55 secs. Downhill a while and a steady climb to the layby at Hoylandswaine roundabout - 7min 12 sec - maybe a bit too fast. Decided on a 2 min rest and then a fast 3 miles to the res at Ingbirchworth - 6:29 -7:04 - 7:08 - that's 20:41 for near enough a 5k.
AND the rest will be steady, VERY steady. Instead of the usual steep climb to the windmills, I carried on the longer way round for a change. Running at this pace seems to be paying dividends at the moment, so why change it. Nearly home, Cross Lane, a familiar figure in front. Shaun D asked me if I'd like to join in some steady 200m reps... but...but... I managed one and then threw in the towel. Nice to see him out with his coach (Annie), she'll soon have him back to winning ways. Out for about 2 hours including stops, with a variety of pace that will hopefully help me to break 70 mins next week.
