Training week (Feb 27th - Mar 5th)

Saturday 27th February - Rest Day

Sunday 28th February - Torrevieja Half Marathon
For my blog entry on the race click here. A good day out despite inclement weather, and managed another PB.
21.1km 4:09 min/km 1:27:27 (chipped)

Monday 1st March - 1,000m Swim
Slow paced swim just to get the lactic out from the previous day's run.
1,000m 27:13

Tuesday 2nd March - Rest Day

Wednesday 3rd March - 12.5km Run
Left it fairly late in the day but managed to get out for a run. It was on the new route that I used the previous week, with a couple of modifications to stretch it out a bit. My pace was good, fairly steady throughout despite the fact that the first half is almost all up hill.
12.56km 4:20min/km 54:25

Thursday 4th March - 1hr Football
My best game for ages, scored two good goals. First one was with the ball coming over my shoulder, let it bounce a couple of times, then a little flick with the outside of the boot knocked it past the keeper. Second one I was about 15 yards from goal, sidestepped two defenders and chipped, it went in off the bar. Shame I can't do the same every week.

Friday 5th March - Track Session
Did 800m in 2:36, which if not my best is not far off, then a 200m sprint, a 400m, another 200m and another 400m with a comfortable 1,000m to finish. It was my first run in a new pair of trainers, they seem alot lighter than my others so good for doing sprints but I'm not sure how they will hold up doing long runs on the road when I'm hitting the ground hard, I'll have to see how they go.
