Last night’s @claphamrunners track team. A light session due to the extreme heat 🥵 plus lots of lunges and a circuit. My legs will hurt for days!! Good job everyone! #claphamrunners #trackthursday #runningintheheat #runningmum #runner #running #instarunners #runningmotivation #runninggirl #milleniumarena #runlikeagirl (at Battersea Park Millennium Arena) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YYktqIRbM/?igshid=3e0v14expcw1

Great to be running again with the gang. Jon was feeling generous tonight so it was a kinder session. I was quite nervous beforehand as I haven’t run with the group for a long time but when I was there I just found it liberating. Thank you Clapham Runners for welcoming me back tonight. #trackthursday #milleniumarena #lovelondon #runningblogger #runningmotivation #running #run #runningmum #runforthesoul #instarunners #runnersofinstagram (at Battersea Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwssWkXAFUh/?igshid=jfb6wtpv4bmb

A very windy Thursday day and night where I live and as the weather forecast predicts strong south winds until Sunday, the interval session went ahead anyway. I did 16x200 with 200m jog in between, trying to avoid the head winds as much as possible. The days where I used to run these at 41-42’ seconds seem so far away, I could only manage yesterday’s runs in 47-48 seconds. However, I have decided that the track is my friend and not my enemy and that I will try to reap the benefits of interval training irrespective of whether my times are great for me or not. So I concentrated on form and I hope that this session was good for my running economy and for working different muscles to the ones I train on slower and on tempo runs. I left contented and not beaten. A new approach to my running, let’s see where it takes me! #trackthursday #track (at Vári, Greece)

My plan for Thursday was to run some sort of 10k, either at easy pace or a bit faster. I thought I was done with interval training and speedwork after Tuesday’s km repeats. In the afternoon however, my running friend called and persuaded me to run 400m repeats. I find this a most painful type of training and I haven’t been well enough to train like that since August. So it was time to face it again!!!! With my friend’s help who kept pace I ran 8x400 with 90’ rest. 3 of them at 1.39’, 3 at 1.37’, 1 at 1.36’ and the last one at 1.35’. I was slow compared to before as expected and didn’t feel I was a pretty sight. But it was a decent effort all things considering, including the high winds that turned into a huge thunderstorm, thankfully after leaving the track. (at Vári, Greece)

TRACK THURSDAY /// @stillwatersrundeepmcr cycle hard - maybe not a good idea before we tackle a 20 mile race weekend - FUN nonetheless #swrdmcr #stillwatersrundeepmcr #trackthursday #manchester #mcruk #cycling #trackcycling #marathontraining #manchestervelodrome #sportengland #marathontraining #vsco #vscocam (at National Cycling Centre The Velodrome)
