long time no speak

well its been a while since i've been able to publish on here due to a few technical problems regarding the signal on this computer as it is a lap top. been a fairly productive week trining wise, with two interval sessions and a few steady paced runs dotted inbetween along with two games of squash, both ofwhich i was soundly thrashed in. first session was on tuesday night doing mile reps around aztec west business park. i didn't manage to pull out my fastest time around the circuit which is 5:21 but the time i did that it was the first rep of the session and i ended up suffering really badly for it come the third or fourth rep. i was aiming to do 5 of them on tuesday but decided to call it quits at 4, the times i posted being 5:31, 5:30, 5:30 and 5:35. no one else from the group- did more than four so there would have been little point in crucifying myself to run a time that would have been significantly slower than the rest of the repetitions that i did.

last night i did a training session with the bristol university group, who ususally train with us any way, the main bristol session being cancelled owing to the fact that a significant proportion of our runners were doing the inter counties champoionships tomorrow, good luck to all who are participating in that event. it was the usual combination oflong and short reps with me posting times of 3:00, 2:50, 2:53 and 2:53 for the short reps and 2:15, 2:17, 2:15 and finishing of with an absoloutely storming 2:12 for the shorter reps.

on to matters races now and the next one is coming up very shortly, the final race of the bridge inn series is on tuesday evening and i feel in shape to have a serious crack at my pb hopefully i will get under 17:30 this time. one more race has been addeed to my calender, the gloucester road relays. i don't know a great deal about the course only that it is roughly 4 miles and is flat, straight and reasonably quick so it will hopefully be absolutley ideal for me. sometimes when i run a new course i don't like to know too much about it and i just get out there and run it as hard as i can, rather than worrying too much about tactics
