01/10/12 - House Move 02/10/12 - House Move 02/10/12 - Rest Day 03/10/12 - Free Run New shoes so I used this to break them in. There new off road shoes (Salomon Speedcross 3), I really wanted a high colour pair but all I could find in my size were borring black so I just went with them. As I only had 30 minutes today to run, I got a hardish session in, I put the treadmill on incline 12% and ran at a 8 minute mile pace. I did this for 10 minutes on 10 minutes flat and then the final 10 minutes at 12% incline again. I'm not sure if this was a good idea doing such an intense session, but my legs felt nice and strong. I was beating everything the treadmill was throwing at me, I really enjoyed the session and I think I'll start adding cheeky inclines into the run sessions over the winter went I cant get out in the mud. On another plus note, my shoes fit like a glove! Roll on Saturdays race, I'm sure they wont be this clean for long. Session Details Duration 0...

Sluggish Leg Session

I wasn't in the mood for training tonight so I forced myself to go tonight, my legs felt heavy and I felt tired. Its interval Thursday so I knew it was going to be a tough one, and me feeling sluggish wasn't helping the matter. 8 x 3 mins (95%) & 60 secs recover (75%) I only averaged out at 168 beats per minute which is just enough to get me in the training zone, but it suppose its better to train than no training at all.
