"Back With A Bump "

After a month of great training and racing my running came to a grinding halt for the first week of June with a painful bout of "runners knee" aggravated by the all out assault at the Wincle Trout Race. After a few days rest I'm not sure which was most painful, missing the Tuesday track session or lying upstairs on the treatment bed in the clubhouse watching the session having the knee attacked by the physio! But it must have helped for a couple of easy runs after this and it appears to be on the road to recovery.

The last week has included a return to the track including sets of 300's and 600's with 100m jog recoveries. the fastest in 54 seconds (for the 3's!) and the remainder sub 60 seconds, which whilst not being as quick as I would like for this time of the year when compared to the previous week at least I am running again! The aim will be to pick this speedwork up in the next few weeks as the annual club track & field champs are just around the corner.

Things were rounded off with a great early Sunday morning seventy five minute run over the local trails around Rainow & Kerridge. The perfect end to the week!

Weekly mileage 29. Annual mileage 591
