We were finally able to attend our first week of the 'distance training' course we have signed up for after last week's cancellation. Labelled the 'slow twitchers' I'm convinced this is due to the slow twitch muscles and not that we are all slow coaches!
After a team talk we went out onto the cricket pitch for a warm up jog and stretches before heading off down to Gain Lane for our 5k time trial. I felt ok on the outward run but on the way back each road seem never ending, I tried counting 1,2,3,4, 2,2,3,4, 3,2,3,4, 4,2,3,4, over and over to keep my pace but alas it was all in vain as my time of 28:30 was considerably slower than my previous 5k PB All things considered though I'm not overly worried, it was biting cold and I have done rather a lot of mileage this week.
A gentle jog tomorrow evening with club, rest on saturday and I am looking forward to the Brass Monkey Half Marathon in York on Sunday - although unplanned as I have accepted a number from a club member who's unable to do it I'm hoping it's going to be a flat(ish), scenic course. I just hope we don't get the snow that's forecast so it's not cold enough to freeze the b*lls off the Brass Monkey!! Watch this space.....
