Training Log Archive: HWW

The usual Monday morning (initially to Fitness First London Bridge, then on to More London).

Kettlebell class

Run through the forest from my parents' house in Woodford back to Leytonstone having dropped off the car, as part of an attempt to at least partly compensate for the lack of a run at the November Classic.

Event: November Classic Weekend
 

Southampton City Centre Urban Race: 6.95km, 26 controls
Felt very much like a repeat of Carlisle, not so much in terms of the course and planning approach, more so that I had what I felt was a reasonably fast, solid run only to learn that Jonathan Albon had got over 1.5 minutes out of me. When comparing splits it seemed like I'd won the majority of legs (in fact I only beat him on 6) but most (58 seconds) of the self damage was inflicted on the finish leg, when for some unknown reason I thought the finish might be at the top of a tower - I followed someone but that's no excuse (note to self: pay more attention to the map, plan ahead and be a little more sensible next time).

Another day, another shortish run from the Hotel iO (although this one was definitely longer than stated - damned Garmin!)

Morning run from the Hotel iO, Eschborn. Having decided that 4 days of inactivity whilst on a work training course at a hotel near Frankfurt may tempt obesity, I decided to venture out for at least a short run (although probably longer than stated as my Garmin took some time to clock satellites). More off-road than I'd wanted but otherwise fairly pleasant.
