Time waits for no hairy men....

Since the Marathon and our testing day at Southampton Solent we managed to fit in a session of hill sprints, I managed to fit in a couple of Tempo runs keeping to my newly identified heart rate zones to maximise the efficency of my training.

I had a weeks holiday coming up and was planning a big training push to try and run at least ten to fifteen miles every day for five days. The the car broke and I was offered a weeks work in London and Darren's IBS kicked in and all our plans had to change.

I took a week off to actually recover from the Marathon and to prepare for my visit to london and a revamped training plan.
After nearly two weeks we finally got back to training it was a beautiful Sunday Morning the sun was high in the sky pouring on the heat, Darren had set his Garmin to thrash the living day lights out of us, and we did we managed our traditional four miler of around Haytor to Hound Tor and back in about fourty two minutes give or take the seconds. This might not seem much but when you consider 6 months last september when we started the same distance took us eighty minutes!!!

We finished our run each time marking our small success actually running eighty five percent i.e. all the hills bar the last one which still defies us it will be conquered!! Once we had recovered enough which was about ten minutes we cracked a set of hill sprints, why not if you can, you should!!

Onwards and upwards eleven weeks to go....
