10k & 21k Training

[DaveM40]

Thanks for reply.

I am ok right now. The races are hard on the body, but as we are not chasing times I do not find them exhausting for the mind. I recovered well from last week - that WAS a hard race! Today was a bit easier as the hills were less steep or long. I am seeing physio this week for massage as usual and I get feedback from him about the state of my body! He was very positive last time.

I have 3 more XC races;

1/ Midland Championship 12k (29-01-11)

2/ League 10k (13-02-11)

3/ Club championship

After that I will be 100% focusssed on the road. I really want to improve my 10k time, but I do intend another 21k race in 2011. My county has a road championship series over the summer;

Warwickshire Road Race League
Championship and other Road Events 2011

[C] - Championship. [L] - Road Race League

Team competition: best 6 results. Individual competition: best 6 results

Sun. 10 April [L] Regency 10km
Sun. 15 May [L] Northbrook 10km
Sun. 12 June [C+L] Two Castles 10km
Wed. 29 June [L] Coventry Sphinx Summer 5m
T.B.C. [L] Stratford AC Summer 6m
Thu. 14 July [C+L] BRAT Rowheath 5km
Wed. 24 August [C+L] Coventry Godiva 5m
Sun. 02 October [C+L] Kenilworth Half Marathon
T.B.C. [C+L] Rugby AC 10m

As you see - 6 results needed from 9 races. There are many other events too, but this does give a nice focus for the season.

What do you think?
