Another great week. Gone with the home workouts until you get back to Colombia and have gym access. The Thursday race excites me. I’m not just saying this to blow smoke up your arse, but think you’re running better than you realise. And I think if conditions are good you might surprise yourself here. That said, make sure you don’t go crazy in those first few kms and then if you feel good put your foot down a bit. Sunday’s session adds a bit of variety to the long run and if still in town perhaps Matt might be interested as your HM pace will push him as well. Any issues just shout, Happy New Year.

Legs a bit weary but nice running conditions again. Forgot to mention that I ordered another pair of Sauconys!
I think a lot of people have done after my post. Such a good price and worth having some spare. Never seemed them that cheap. Don’t be afraid to slow down the pace a little on these if the legs are weary. But strong running again Ben.

10K Race

45 POINTS

Knocked a minute off my last attempt at this race, so was pleased. You can prob see from my Strava but Kms 3 and 4 were tough. Bit of elevation (well, for Norfolk anyway) and bitter wind. We turned the corner at 4km and felt like I was in a different place entirely (I remember it being the same and sometimes worse running along the coast in Hastings!).
That’s brilliant to make that improvement. I know when getting down to this level, even a few seconds quicker is tough, so to knock a minute of your last time here is great. Further evidence you are running really well right now. Awesome work Ben.

Easy parkrun

9 POINTS

No nearby parkrun as mentioned but got out with my mate, Dave, and ran streets of Bristol
What no parkrun in Bristol, or just miles away from where you were? Good to run a mate though and somewhere new, looks like a nice route on the Strava map, anywhere with water is normally a good path.

4 x 3km

As with yesterday, took advantage of running with a mate today. Didn’t pay too much attention to time tbh but did do a lot of hills (blimey, Bristol is hilly!). Did 7.5k run to my mate’s house, followed by 16.7k around Bristol
Looking at my pts per distances tables (they are quite complicated) you would definitely have hit the target here given the pace and hills. Gotta take that opportunity to run with a mate, so no worries about swapping the session around for that. Well done Ben.
