6x6.30mins with 90 secs recovery

First proper session post London. Good to be 'back in the room'. 

The six sets were ok but the journey back to the stadium was tough and seemed never-ending. 

Shin fine, no issues. Back, ok mostly running but got sore on the slow run back - seized up for a while but ok later. We'll see in the morning. Got really cold quickly afterwards - didn't get warm (even in the car) until a hot shower sorted me out. 

Silverstone next week? hmmm.

Faux Bondarenko

First night back training with Bedford Harriers since London.

Can't really claim this as a proper Bondarenko session as the back is still playing up and I only did 2 of the 5 sets at 50% of the effort I would normally do. Never mind 8 1/2 or so miles was a bonus - at a reasonable pace too.

wikipedia says - Olga Bondarenko

First run post marathon

Wednesday 23rd April

Went out for a gentle 3 mile run. Legs felt ok and so did the shin. Seems like the old back problem has returned - ligaments. In my teens this took months to heal. Usually when it happens it takes a few days, so the fact that its been more than a week is a little concerning.
