The last few weeks have been a real mixture of good and bad. There have been some excellent sessions including, runs in Whinfell Forest in the Lakes, hill reps in Macclesfield Forest and some quicker interval work of 15x1 min / 1min recovery and a 25 minute threshold run in preparation for the upcoming northern Road relays. On the downside, whilst my local track has reopened after refurbishment, the return of my calf niggle has kept me away and each day has been one of stretching and waiting for the first tweaks of pain! Luckily there have been no missed races as the wait for the cross country season in a few weeks continues.
Yesterday however restored my faith, heading out for a ninety minute run over Kerridge I was treated to a fabulous sunset as I dropped across the ridge back down towards home. Fantastic! White Nancy at the end of the ridge is pictured to the left of the photo.
