Sunday 9th Sept.
Great Yorkshire run, in Sheffield, I hadn’t run for nearly two weeks as Mac my guide had been on holiday and so had I, so it was going to be a blow out to get sorted again. The run was 10 k and challenging, quite hilly but to be fair an enjoyable run, puffing like an old Billy goat and the legs hurt, finished in 44.o4 minutes and thoroughly enjoyed the run, will certainly go back again next year.
Must now put in some serious training for the North, although we are slowly working in a training schedule for the challenge next year, so the North will be a hard training run, would like to run it in around 1 hour 30/35 minutes.
Monday 10th Sept.
Approx 8 mile run, through the town and parklands, legs were hurting from yesterday, but we had quite a brisk but relaxed run.
Tuesday rest
Wednesday 12th Sept.
Same run as Monday, relaxed run chatting pace with about a 30-minute tempo in the middle.
Thursday 13th September Same course again, morning run with another guide, brisk run with 6 3-minute efforts, with 2 minutes rest in between.
Friday 14th September approx 8 mile run through and around town, with hills, brisk run working hills.
Saturday 15th September Our first long run, not specifically for the North, the training is stepping up for the challenge next year, out and around town, 15 mile, steady at chatting pace.
Sunday 16th September In the morning incorporating our Monday run with extra to make it up to 11 mile, steady chatting running with a few points where we forced the pace occasionally.
Sunday evening a relatively quick 7 mile run incorporating a couple of miles off road along a local canal, fitness is coming back rather quicker than expected.

Dave - you are a phenominal inspiration to everyone on Team Lucozade Sport. I am so grateful and proud to have you as part of our team and wish you all the very best for Sunday's race. You've been bumping out some cracking times in training and the races leading up to Sunday and I have no doubt that you will be miles ahead of me at the weekend. I look forward to meeting you and Mac at the end. You need to give the rest of us time to catch up!
