Ended up shifting my runs about this week which meant my hard runs all came together but with work and a few fun nighs with Noah it was all i could do. At least i managed still to fit them all in

28th January - Easy 4 miles in 41.06 AV HR 159 = 72% WHR

30th January- Easy 3 Miles in 29.58 Av HR 155 = 69% WHR

31st January - Intervals 6 miles in 53.46 AV HR 175 84% WHR
1 1/4 mile warm up followed by 1/2 mile intervals with 1/4 mile rest followed by 1 mile cool down.

Interval 1: 3.32 AV HR 190
Interval 2: 3.36 AV HR 187
Interval 3: 3.48 AV HR 187
Interval 4: 3.38 AV HR 185
Interval 5: 3.44 AV HR 184

Happy with this found it tough in my body but should have pushed a bit harder to keep the pace up a little

January Totals: 81.62 Miles Weight Loss = 7 pounds
Chuffed at weight loss and feel better for it, also first real full month of uninterupted training since september. Back does still feel stiff occaisonally but nothing to bad (more caused from carrying the little one around i think).


1st FebruaryLong Run - 9 miles in 1:29:26 Av HR 157 71% WHR

This weeks totals: 22.01 Miles Weight 12:8 - No weight loss (Had a mixed week with the eating, weight did drop to 12:6 midweek, down to dehydration - had a couple of lunches at work and a few beers on saturday night so few extra calories to catch up with me.

Following a plan by the food doctor that came free with men's health, which seems to be working ok and is pretty flexible - 5 smaller meals a day. Major downside with it is getting enough carbs for harder sessions, so have the excuse to have a thank goodness sake a couple of times a week :-)

Had a more positive week and with a full months training and better Heart rate readings over the past couple of days despite the headwinds i have had to run into pretty pleased.
