Trench boxes in October - Surveying Struggle

4 Runs to report since the last post on here as we progress through the autumnal bliss that is the month of October.

  • Mon 07.10.2019 - 45:17 - 10km - Felt good - aim for sub 44 (as always)
  • Mon 14.10.2019 - 49:18 - 10km - headcold & lashing rain & V cold & Vehicles/traffic everywhere.
  • Sun  20.10.2019 - 35:59 - 10km (but stopped the watch at 8km as I was struggling Re motivation, breathing & Weak mentally. Walked for 100m then jogged the remaining 2km home with a sprint at the end.)
  • Wed 24.10.2019 - 32 Flat (actually 31:45 for I had to move for cars etc.) - 7.1km loop 
          This was tonight's run, which went quite well. Still a little slow out of the blocks (but I think                31 Something is actually my best time for this route so considering this it was a  good    performance) but ran well. Had a lot of mental motivation (work just keeps getting worse & worse) to run well tonight & this showed in the time. Had a stitch again in the same area that stopped me dead last time but it wasn't as severe that it stopped me this time. Legs were spent in the last 10 minutes but I held on well to finish reasonably strongly - lost a bit of focus inside the last 5 minutes mentally but overall happy with the run. I need to do this session more (more speed work - I lack this).
  • A good deal of cycling (especially at weekends to & from Work) throughout this time period.
Been nursing a persistent head cold since late last week, have been running & cycling with it & is fine.

Looking good now for a run this coming Friday & Sun evenings
