Early morning run to stretch legs. Chest was tight but not coughing up anything.

Eurggghh. Rubbish. McCain uphill running trial race. DNF. Got 5 k into the race and it was clear that all was not right. Had been fighting off a bug all week and felt rubbish. This is the first time I have dropped out a race in memory but figured that finishing it would be stupid and would only put me out of action for longer.

Good run from Rob L for 9th and Pete (with his new mug) toughed it out.

Although really disappointed I have been pretty lucky all told with my races this year so to have one where I was not on top form was going to happen at some point.

Note to self (again) - don't run a race if not feeling great.

C • How very frustrating! 4

Very easy run to loosen legs and chest. Not feeling great.

Run home via the men's sprint race (version 3). My new course took me 2.6 miles to run so will chop off about 1/2 mile or so. Took it very steady as sore throat still lingering.

Was going to do Hallamshire session but was craving some hills so went up Loxley. Through in 6 x 1.10 to freshen up legs. Throat really sore and chest tight. Hoping to fight it off.

Day off. Not feeling great.

Run home and then out to Myers Grove for some intervals. VO2 session 5 x 1/2 mile with 2.00 min recovery. Legs feeling heavy but pushed though it.

Early morning session with Dr Thake. Felt ok once I got going.
