Janathon Day 3: Running Club Training

The real test of janathon starts now, Christmas is over and I’m back to school. Tonight’s run was the usual club training night, but thankfully is was decided, as it was the first session after Christmas, that we’ll take it slightly easier tonight.

Tonight’s session:

  • Warm-up
  • 10 min sustained (10k pace)
  • 3 min jogged recovery
  • 10 min sustained (10k pace)
  • Cool-down

Although it was very, very, very windy. In fact it was so windy that running into the wind felt like you were running up a steep hill. Legs feeling slightly tired by the end…..

Summary
******
Distance: 3.79mi
Time taken: 00:34:24
Average/Max Speed : 6.60/9.26 mph
Average/Min Pace : 00:09:05/00:06:28
Calories: 441

Total mileage after day 3 = 10.27 miles

Janathon Day 2: Bourne Woods

It was a lovely bright morning, in fact I can’t remember the last time we had a lovely morning like today. With today being the last day of the school holidays a nice steady run around the woods with the dog sounded perfect. Tomorrow night is club training so I didn’t want to run too far this morning, I was planning on another 3-miler. The route took me up a hill (which is bigger than it looks)…..

…..and to the ponds, which this time last year were frozen solid…..

…..the lovely calm peaceful scene was soon to be destroyed…..

…..with Billy Boy taking the plunge.

Overall: a steady 3-miler; on a lovely morning; on day 2 of Janathon; and in 28mins (including some stops for pics). Sweet Deals!

After the exploits of New Year’s Eve in Ipswich at Kev and Jackie’s place, including Wii, ‘Guess Who’ and a 3am finish,  today’s run was a nice steady 3-miler around Bourne. A sort of half lap of the town with a short diversion to see if China  Palace was open for this evening’s take-away.
