Hard week, ramping up the mileage!

After a very good ride to Windsor and back on Sunday, the week was set to be a good one. To be honest the ride took quite a lot out of me, the 60miles there and back was very steady, with the last half being quite brisk!

Yesterday saw an easy run of 7 miles to prepare for another hard interval session tonight.

The run was really rewarding tonight and the endurance hill reps looked something like this:

2 miles warm up with
6* 2 minutes * 5k pace. What really encourages me is that compared to the same workout in the Amsterdam build-up my heartrate was about 15 beats lower per rep, and I managed to do them about 20% faster.

They still felt hard, but the workout also made me make up my mind about my London shoes...they will be the racing green Tarthers.








Tomorrow night will be a progression run home, hopefully clocking up close to 10 miles with the last 8 hard.
