Tue Easy run along Canal 10.51km, 44:43
Wed During day started to feel like a Cold coming on..after work Fartlek on track 20mins easy then 3x5mins 2mins easy inbetween
Thur Still feeling like full blown Cold about to take hold..Easy run along Canal 10.63km, 46:38
Fri Track busy, not feeling great rode home - Rest Day.
Sat Still slight head cold, but major illness not appearing.. so rode track and ran easy 7.5km just to buck me up, and see if tomorrows possible. Early Night with Lemsip and Honey
Sun Up at 5:50am, still feeling same, after borrowing a car for the weekend decided to still go the race.. Lovely breezy Autumnal morning, after warm-up burning up in toilets, thought about not starting but decided to start further back to get a easier/slower start, by 2km didn't feel my best, at 3km wanted to drop out..then the group ahead started to break up giving me a couple of runners to chase down.. before I knew it I was going past the 7km point ..might as well make through to the end now.
Finished with a 1st M50 (again no M55 category) in 36:24
In bed with a lemsip and honey now and more of a Cold than I've had all week.. I'm sure a sub 36:00 would have been on if!
Now I just want to get healthy for this coming Sundays Half
