Well I was all set to do the Oldfield race today but my training partner Jamie texted me last night to say he fancied a long run in the morning instead so I decided to join him. With Borrowdale just around the corner this was probably a good idea.

We went over Ilkely Moor and did 2 hours 10 mins at quite a reasonable pace.

After feeling rough earlier in the week I was quite pleased with my performance. The weather helped - it was a perfect running day - nice and cool with high cloud and great viz - the tracks were still V wet though.

Got back and tried some Powerbar Recovery milkshake (that I brought back from the yacht race)- can’t say it tasted too good but let’s see if it works….

Another week of training ahead then a rest week before Borrowdale.

Can’t help but feel I need to spend more time on my bike with the 3 Peaks Cyclocross looming!!
