Back in training
Oct01200910:48 p.m.
So after a well deserved week off I decided it was high time that I got the trainers back on again.
Started off with a cheeky 4.2k at the gym on Tuesday - 25 mins, job done. Then on Tuesday evening I went to running club and did some low hill reps. Legs felt really heavy and tired, but it felt good to be out at the same time.
This evening it was back to club for some more action. This time it was speed reps (but still with a sharp incline in the middle 
). My legs felt a lot better and I was able to do well on some 100m sprints. No idea of times as I didn't have my Garmin, but I was keeping up, which I always take as a good sign.
In other exciting news, I think I might be a bit busy on 25th April next year 
. No mag as yet, but the VLM website seems keen to accept my payment. Eek!
