Lucky for Some...

Today's training was all about the Friday hill reps! I did these on the treadmill as I find it more convenient for controlling the speed and gradient. My training plan was for 6 reps and I decided to do these at an extra 1% of what I had worked on last week, so upping it to 6%, but after the first 3 at 8 mph, it just felt too easy so I did another 4 at 7% and 8.5 mph. I felt pretty strong too so my 15 minute cool-down turned into a slightly more extended thing but hey, after spending all day shut up in a stuffy drawing studio, I was enjoying the sensation of movement and I didn't feel like stopping! I then managed to tack on some core/conditioning work as I'd missed that out yesterday because of going to the club house. It's much easier to do that stuff at the gym as I have more space and access to the equipment!
VLM Application Confirmation!London Marathon 2015 Good for Age Application Confirmation!

Nothing to report aside from that...

Oh and that the applications to the 2015 London Marathon for those with a Good for Age time (sub 3.45 for me...) opened today! I completed the Greater Manchester Marathon this April in a time of 3:31:14 (race results here) which was well within my qualifying target and I've been waiting to apply since the public ballot closed back in April so it was pretty exciting to get mine in. I should hear back within 15 working days.

Fingers crossed! Let's hope Friday the 13th will be kind!
