Crash Training (4)

Today's training so far:

7:00am - wobble board
8:10am - eccentric ankle stretching
8:45am - ran almost 20 miles
2:50pm - strength/conditioning exercises
5:10pm - stretching, ankle massage and wobble board

Later I plan to go for a run with Otley AC - 8.5 miles.

This morning's run felt good except that it took about 8 minutes longer than expected ... the pace didn't feel slow though !!!

Still feeling OK, not overly tired. At bedtime tonight I'll have another one of those recovery drinks from Science in Sport.

Received a good email this lunchtime - three photos of me at the Hull 24hr race [two of them are very good too] - from Alan Young (sponsor and handler for William Sichel). I'm not sure where he got them but I don't recall seeing any photographer at the race ... Fay has just told me that there was a photographer there.

I was obviously too busy to notice !!!

Crash Training (3)

Today:

7:00am - wobble board
7:40am - 50 minutes cycling
1:20pm - yesterday's strength/conditioning exercises
2:45pm - run almost 19 miles; including 8 miles tempo [10k - half marathon pace]
8:00pm - stretching, ankle massage and wobble board

This morning I repaired the burst hot water pipe - so good to have running hot water again.

Today I don't feel as tired as I expected - had a good night's sleep last night though, no doubt aided by a product from Science in Sport called Nocte.

Still paying careful attention to diet regarding recovery, fuelling the training and keeping illnesses at bay ... seems to be paying off so far.
