Jog On...

21/05/12 - Rest Day 22/05/12 - Rest Day 23/05/12 - Open Water Swim (North Dock, Llanelli) What a lovely evening to do some open water swimming, the sun was shining and the water was.. well... warmish. I was reliable told its the warmest it had been all year, so I was happy to get in and get some meters in. I've been testing out some goggles, so tonight was a mask pair, you probably cant see them from the photo above, but I'm the head with the orange swim hat on the right. This was a great session, to get me back into the open water scene, 50 meter warm up, then then sprint 20 strokes, 10 recover, then sprint 30 strokes and 10 recovery. To finish we did zig-zag sprints, about 100 meter sprints with 30 seconds recoveries. My arms were really heavy after this session, but its a good pain!

Winter is definitely on route, I went for my run after work tonight and by the half way marker I could see the steam coming from my head. It wasn't because I had a stressful day in work either! The temperature has really dropped since last week and I've noticed the outdoor training is getting cold so im digging out the long sleeved tops. The temperature drop didn't effect my speed though and my best pace of the session got to under 4 minute miles. I think it was when I had to sprint across the road so I didn't get run over, but I'll take that pace any day. As this is mainly a summer route for me as there are no street lights on the route I wont be doing this one much more this year so I'll be going back to urban route running which has plenty on inclines and down hills not much rhythm running but it will be good to get more miles in my legs. An average run for me, so I think its time I go to that new route I think my legs are used to running this route,...
