Training - What Training?!

That’s a disappointing clarification!

Necessary though I thought, to quell the usual double entendre suspects. :rofl:

9km evening run with club (well, just me and one other stupid enough to be out!).
Easy pace but leg seems to have held up. :crossed_fingers:t2:

Dom has definitely outstayed his welcome now - like an annoying guest at the end of the night - fuck off Dom… no, I’m just opening another bottle

First 7 hour week of the year.
Then a week off with flu.
Then a nice gentle introduction back to exercise yesterday… With an hour of squash :skull:

First time in 6 years. Good fun, but first time I’ve been the only slowing the game down between points. And looks like Dom left Toby and came to visit me today.

Went along to a local club’s run session last night. On Tuesday nights they have 3 groups & I optimistically plumped for the faster one which was doing 8*800.

There were 15/20 runners & I found them more welcoming than the industrial estate group I ran with this time last year, possibly helped by the fact I knew one or two of them. Unfortunately it’s difficult - with my goldfish memory - to remember names particularly after meeting in the dark :smile: .

Session itself went as well as could be expected. I was quite tired going into it & it’s been about a year since I ran hard in a group…excuses, excuses :smile: From the 4th effort I knew I was in trouble & decided I would call it a night at 6 but after a long recovery & berating myself for being a wuss I joined in on the last one.

Unexpected bonus of the evening was finding out that the membership is £3 p/a.

3 mile laps last night in my overground bunker lol

And 4 miles this am

Quad seems fine. Calves strong from gym so that’s good… very much still jogging - little and often philosophy I think.

How amusingly unexpected:

And, I think of Wednesday as “my swim day”.

8 mile run this evening

All very encouraging, granted less a run & more a jog.

Certainly no aerobic issues. Felt like I could chug along forever at this pace. Waiting for legs to wake up. I’m not exactly bouncing along

*** and a couple of hrs dancing in the sub club last night off ma box after a few beers with gallery artists :laughing: ***

And a sausage supper

… 8.5 - just measured on how far …
