Another gorgeous Spring day, though a little chilly on the cycle to #parkrun. I took the opportunity to have a good run out, taking the uphill steady and the downhill hard. I was rewarded with my fastest time of the year and best age grading in two years (on this course). Stayed afterwards to chat and sort the tokens, bagging a volunteer credit.

One of those gorgeous Spring days that are warm in the sun but still fresh in the shade. Happy equinox!

Some deliberate moving around of heavy things, then enjoying the sunshine whilst getting some errands done on my rest day from running.

Back on the Winter 8 route with club this evening, though there was nothing Wintery about the weather. 14°C (57°F) and still. Delightful.

A full #tracktuesday session out on the railway path with a Moose fartlek. 5 reps of 3 minutes, 1 minute with 1 minute recovery between each rep. I was between 4:05/km and 4:10/km for the 3 minute reps (6:34/mile to 6:42/mile) and 3:54/km to 4:07/km (6:16/mile to 6:37/mile) tor the 1 minute reps.

A classic #parkrunsandwich getting my long run in today before supporting at Bath Half tomorrow. 39 minutes to #parkrun a 25:06 easy effort up and down the hill, and 37:04 back. Ended up being a little warm in the layers by the time I was home, but grateful for them on the way out. 12 miles total.

A nice recovery walk after last night's race. I had intended to do a weights workout but was too bashed up after the race and a poor night's sleep.

I think the forecast bad weather kept people away from Prom this evening, as I somehow managed to win my age category (but had left by the time of the prize giving - a club mate kindly picked me up a bottle of wine, but as I don't drink he can keep it for his kindness - what is it with races giving alcohol as prizes anyway?). I did manage to pull out my fastest time of the series, purely down to race craft in the 30mph winds.

The race is two loops, starting into a headwind, which was fine from the start as there were so many of us. I used the first tailwind section to push on and make sure I had a group in front of me by the turnaround, and tucked in for the full mile and a quarter of headwind. It all broke up a bit on the next tailwind section, so I was pretty much on my own for the last headwind slog home. I'll take it. One more chance for me this series.
