Same route as last time. Nice fast roads with a slow section down Batemill Lane through to Over Peover. Its a shame it started to rain here, so I had to go quite steadily down hill :(
Decent pace :)

Day 3 run at lunch with Bezy and Will. Went down the footpath we found last week to Cuddington, then a short 2km(ish) run round robin back down same footpath. Cut across a footpath we saw on the way there which lead us over the railway, and ended up coming out on road that has The Oaklands on. Not a nice road to run back along, but I enjoyed the rest of the route.
Will struggled to keep up and had to stop a few times to let him catch up, but to be fair we weren't hanging around. Oh and he got blisters... Don't think he'll be full of enthusiasm to come out again any time soon.

Legs felt a bit heavy and almost as if knee wasn't quite right, but it was Mr Hough who knackered his Hamstring so I took rest of session. We did 400m @ 25 per 100, followed by 100m at 18s then 400-200, 400-300, 400-400. Managed 74 for final 400, so just out on 18s, but not bad considering.

Watched Cavendish win Giro Stage 10, and thought leg could do without impact of running, so braved the semi-wet roads for a nice 20km spin. Back roads were considerably wetter, but I tried to stick on main roads where the volume of traffic had pretty much made it dry. Fortunately there was no rain whilst I was out.

18k (ish) on A50, I was on big ring at a really nice pace of 36-38km/h, but suddenly felt like I got a stitch in my chest (weird), or like I'd pulled something and my breathing fucked up, so ended up back down at 24-28km/h for next 1-1.5 km. By Townfield Ln I felt relatively normal, so took pace back up to 30+.

Back roads were slow. Absolutely flew up hill on Batemill Ln after too close for comfort encounter with a car on the descent.

One of our last Day 6 games lessons, so we went to Marbury Park and did an orienteering thing followed by balloon olympics. Was quite fun. Shame only 30% of year went... Others missed out! :D
Dislike brambles.

Since I can't do anything, I watched Beth compete in The Great Manchester Run! She did really well and managed 20secs under her target time, so really impressed.
