"The National 2016 - Donnington Park"

A really tough race and my first visit to this course. Running the 7.93 miles in 1.17.41, a 9.48 pace.
Week 8. Weekly mileage 30. Annual mileage 208. Sessions 44. Races 7.

"Toothache!"

It's nearly twenty years since I ran the London Marathon and as I sit here with severe tooth ache I have never felt less like going for a run, let alone at the pace I could run in the old days!

"Wythenshawe Park XC"

Snorkels and flippers were the order of the day for the final Manchester XC league fixture at Wythenshawe Park. With much of the park seemingly underwater a rerouted six mile course was set out to allow the race to take place. I had a reasonable run finishing in 54.40 and averaging 9.08 a mile.

"Alsager 5"

The annual run around Alsager was as always slower than the year before! Finishing in 38.301 I was at least still in the top half of the field.
