Challenge 41 - week 9 update

Almost there with my crazy May running challenge! Pleased with my 6 mile Midweek League time at Orion (under an hour on a hilly course and I felt strong at the end ) and my 5km parkrun at Stevenage (28 minutes). Just a little run on the banks of the River Ouse to finish the week off

Challenge 41 - week 8 update

A calmer week with a higher mileage, I am feeling good running every day, maybe this is something I should do more often!

Highlight of this week was the Midweek League 10km race at St Albans on Thursday, I finished under an hour (in fact under 59 minutes), fastest 10km time I have run since 2011 and over 3 minutes quicker than the same race last year, result!


Summary:
NHRR Training sessions - 1
Other runs - 6
Total mileage - 29.7

Progress:
NHRR Training sessions left - 36
516 challenge mileage left - 392.87

P.S. I am counting the midweek league races as a NHRR training session (my challenge, my rules :-))

Challenge 41 - week 7 update

Aaaagh, crazy week, dinner in London on Monday night, stressful presentation in London on Tuesday (so I ran when I got back at 10), theatre trip on Wednesday (so I ran when I got back at 1030!) and an absent Gary on Friday night which culminated in me running a mile around my garden at 10pm hoping my neighbours didn't see me! I am not sure how I managed to fit my 7 runs in!


Summary:
NHRR Training sessions - 0
Other runs - 7
Total mileage - 21.63

Progress:
NHRR Training sessions left - 37
516 challenge mileage left - 422.57

Challenge 41 - week 6 update

I've set myself a daft challenge; to run every day in May! I am also hoping to raise some money for the Breastfeeding Network. Not sure how this will pan out but hoping I don't get too tired or injured.

This week has gone ok, a trip into London meant I missed NHRR training on Tuesday but went to the Thursday track session instead. Gary was absent over the weekend so I had to do an early Friday run, a 1.1 mile run pushing the pram and dragging a small child on a scooter followed by a lovely Sunday evening run which was made a little harder by an afternoon beer ;-)

Summary:
NHRR Training sessions - 1
Other runs - 6
Total mileage - 21.5

Progress:
NHRR Training sessions left - 37
516 challenge mileage left - 444.2

Challenge 41 - week 5 update

A much better week this week with 4 runs in total and almost 16 miles run in total! Really enjoying my running at the moment. The NHRR training session also included planting a tree, not something that happens every week :-)
I was also Race Director for the Greenway Challenge Half Marathon on Sunday 1 May, it all went well, thank goodness!

Summary:
NHRR Training sessions - 1
Other runs - 3
