Racing and Training 2018

I did the 6 @ 6 session. It was a shortened out and back session down Usk Way to the SDR - a short stretch of the SDR then returning over the SDR bridge and back down the other side of the river. I hung a left at Horton's coffee shop back to Eton Road where my car was parked.

am I did the Royal Oak loop. Felt reasonably good this morning. Heart rate was not too elevated by the climb up Royal Oak Hill. Signes of improvement ... though injury still needs to be managed. Core strength needs to be built upon. Get a gym I will go to ?

I was inconspicuous by my absence at parkrun yesterday. Not fully recovered from Friday the evening six at six 5K session. ... but this morning was my first Sunday morning run since July last year. Absolutely buzzing. Thanks to the 8 am crew for the great welcome back!  :-) London marathon day is a good day to bury some good news. 

i did the six at six session. It was a half distance session as Roni was doing the London Marathon two days later. Togetehr with a warm up and cool down I did 7.18k

I did my usual morning Royal Oak loop. It was the first warm day of the year. No hat or caot required. I am still walking Royal Oak Hill. It is taking me just over 30 minutes. Heart rate seemed to be improved today. I met up with Stu & Tom in Zizzi and then saw Stuart Salvage and Chris Hill at Horton's Coffee House.

pm I did an out and back from the car park on Cold Bath Road. I noticed 100 metre intervals sprayed on to the tarmac on the incline. I ran out for 2K and back. There were dog walkers and joggers about. It was a pleasant experience. Laps at the moment with my current level of poor fitness would be rather tedious.

I did the Newport parkrun. The Riverfront was closed due to maintenance work on the footbridge blocking the route.

I did the Royal Oak loop before Slimming World

It was a wet Monday evening. I did 3 * 1K laps of the flat circuit at Caerleon. This was my first excursion to Caerleon for many months. It was a struggle but I am reminded that it is always a struggle ... even when I'm fit. The symptoms of my injury appear to be lessening. There is a light at the end of the tunnel perhaps.

I drove to Rodney Parade. I did the parkrun
