Challenge 41 - week 4 update

Oops! No real progress this week. I did go to a NHRR training session on Tuesday but I didn't run as we were trialing our new race timing system (which was a success!). As the point of my challenge was to run more I haven't counted this session. Gary was away for some of the week too plus I had to do a dress swap at Euston station and a crazy busy weekend so no training...must do better next week!

Challenge 41 - week 3 update

We spent the third week of my challenge having fun at Butlins so not much progress to report this week I am afraid! I took part in the Luton Wardown first birthday parkrun on Saturday. It was very cold, wet and a little bit sleety but I was really pleased with my fastest 5km time this year (29:28)...recovering from flu and some extra training appear to be working! My support crew were not impressed, one fell off her scooter about 30 secs after leaving the car and when I ran past them on my 3rd of 4 laps the smallest one was screaming...they might not be so keen to come next time!

Challenge 41 - week 2 update

Starting to feel a bit fitter and Spring has sprung, all is good in the world of Lindsay.
Managed a hill session with the NHRR Yellow group on Tuesday, not a very long session but fun. Enjoyed my Thursday evening run in the sun around Oughtonhead Common and was VERY pleased with my 6 miler this afternoon. Hannah had a party at Letchworth Tennis Centre so I revisited routes we used to run when NHRR was based over that side of town.

Challenge 41 - week 1 update

Week 1 of Challenge is 41 and so far so good...for the second week in a row I went to the NHRR Tuesday training session. This week it was 1 km reps, I did 4 with 90 secs recovery and that was probably enough. Weirdly, I am struggling a little with running in the evenings as it's getting a bit dark! Over 2 years of not training in the evenings has meant I am a little out of practice...oh, and my 41 year old back keeps being a bit sore!

This week's mileage was 13.2 over 4 runs culminating in a lovely 5 mile run this afternoon in the sun...this running lark is fun when you aren't exhausted!

Summary:
NHRR Training sessions - 1

Other runs - 2
Total mileage - 13.2
