Week 13 Day 1-3

Day 3
Football, always a good test.

Later on, nice easy run to Wallasey and along the sea front. Very relaxing, but still a good 8 miles.

Tomorrow & Saturday are rest days before the 20 mile bug run.

Still,  have done 35 miles running in last 5 days before that so mileage is good.

Day 2
Trail run 9.5 miles, mixed terrain... All good for building stamina up. Tested new running belt out, and hand water bottle.

Lovely going through Bidston hills & forests, and around. Harder effort but nice surroundings make such a difference, you don't realise how far you have gone or how hard you push up hills and paths.

Good company too from Mrs FRC.  Needs to work on her breathing and warm up routine first 10-20 mins.. whatever the magic method is for her.

Day 1
Aimed to do 10 miles but ran out of time if also doing a class... probably a mistake.. felt rushed, should've just aimed for specific hill run and done that.
Managed to 9 miles to West Kirby not the route originally planned to Heswall, then back to gym for body conditioning class, but again rushed with a meeting later so cut short.

Hmm.. knees sore and hip too, so dosed with ibuprofen and hot bath. Need to be careful and avoid injury!
