Distance : 4 miles - Hills
Total Training Distance (since beginning Jan 12) : 52 miles
Route & Stats : Crown Point Hill
Was a bit late leaving work tonight, by the time I'd got changed and run home it was just before 7pm. I was both surprised and delighted to find my mate Chris Baylis waiting to join me for the hill training session. This was great, because I could easily have talked myself out it tonight, but instead I just had a quick pit stop and was out the door again.
The actual training run was good, first 2 climbs were at less than 8 min mile pace. It's fair to say that both of us were 'blowing' hard by the time we reached the top. By the time we got to the last of the 6 climbs I was nearly done for, but Chris was still feeling strong. We set off with a target of 8:30 pace, 2/3 into the last climb, I expected Mr B to blast away from me in the style of Usain Bolt, but as he hit the gas the wheels came off and he disappeared from my shoulder. I managed to keep going and was pleased to see Chris arrive a few seconds later with no damage done.
It was great to train with someone else, so thanks for that Chris. I think he enjoyed and said he'd be back next week .... from his twitter account,
