Taking an enforced break from training, a nasty dose of infected bursitis causing a short trip to the super urgent care team at Burnley hospital on Wednesday. Absolutely no idea what caused it, but at least a week hiatus.... 🚴♂️🏃♂️🧗♂️

Spent the evening watching the 2024 WHWR Inspiration Evening Webinar on Zoom.
It's an awfa long time since I last trained seriously for this race, and its an awfa long time to spend running none stop. But I did leave feeling slightly inspired.
Lucy Colquhoun was on talking about her (still standing) course record from 2007. Lucy won the first ultramarathon I ever raced - the Glen Ogle 33 all the way back in 2011.

🏃♂️I’ll be racing at the Great North Run in September.
Disappointed at not getting through the ballot in 2023, buying a race membership guarantees entry for each of the following three years.

Photo of the finish line at Run Aintree Half Marathon yesterday - but did somebody shrink my legs?

Nice clear evening for finding threshold run pace on the Leeds Liverpool canal. If slightly chilly.

Extra proud of my Burnley Parkrun effort this morning, a big jump over any 5km I’ve ran in almost 7 years. I could feel the extra strength from resistance work, and much more to come.
Nice way to start a marathon training block!

This weeks long run was a 15km out and back on the Leeds Liverpool Canal, between the two storms.

Hilly and dreich, but fun, 14km circuit around Burnley this morning.
Good to see / feel improvement from earlier runs up from Barrowford. Though running low and really needed to fuel on last climb.

I've become increasingly good at getting training volume in over the last few years, without getting the results that I wanted out of that in terms of competitiveness and weight.

Cracking 400m interval session at Herriot Watt with coach Karl this morning - 74s. Edinburgh - second favourite city in the world.

Having reflected on 2013 and taken a couple of weeks off, 2014 has started in earnest with a good pool session yesterday, followed by a good 7 odd mile circuit out in very strong wind this morning.
The plans for 2014 are twofold, firstly to run well throughout my race program, and secondly to continue preparations for racing long distance triathlons the following year.
