Days in Denmark

This weeks training has kept going well. Another fast run Friday, 2.5 to work with a 3 to 4kg bag, 10k fast run and later another run home (2.5km) with the bag on my back again. Saturday I was back at work so another run in with the bag and back later with much heavier bag thanks to new work laptop (bag must have been close to 10kg). Thursday and Friday I also did some strength work.
This morning I got up and ran 21.5km, 10 with a friend and the rest on my own. Will do some strength work in a little while. While Im away with work I'm mainly on my own so that gives me the time to put the miles. Cant imagine having to do this if I had to commute to work every day! I take my hat of to those that do.

Still at it

Its been a while but Ive just been so busy trying to keep training, working and having some kind of family life! Im still at it and going strong. I have now managed  to keep my weekly avg to above 80km. my weeks tend to looks something like this:
Mon - 10 to 15km + some strength work (bit limited)
Tue - 20+km
Wed - 19 to 15km + some strength work (bit limited)
Thu - 20+km
Fri - 10 to 15km
Sat/Sun - 20 to 40km depends totally on other commitments.

Today I am back in Denmark and ran with an old running mate of mine called Jesper Gønge, total machine. He has a fracture in his foot, hasnt run over 9km in 4 months and nothing in last 2 weeks and today we blasted out a really strong 22km in under 1 hour 30 minutes! my legs are now slightly fried but really nice to push the pace and feel some pressure. Felt strong almost the whole way so Im really pleased. It was a cold 5 degrees and wet so Im thinking it may be time to bring out the spandex again! look out Bath!

over for now :)
