I had a week away last week so not so much running, but I did get in a couple of decent bike rides!
And I'd like to do more of that sort of thing, bike riding that is, although probably more in summer!
Hereford Intervals...
I was gonna head to the track but it was windy and I just wasn't in the mood for pace into the wind, so I did my local run and just did my longer intervals so I managed:
- 1 * 800
- 1* 600
- 3* 400....
Slower than usual, but again this was just a matter of getting them in!
Somerset quick 5K
My usual route along an abandoned cycle path - just a usual 5K, quite happy with pace, opted for a few intervals at the end after, not too fast, this was just a matter of getting the run in...
Bath cycle ride...
A nice little ride along an abandoned cycle path with a few friends, simply beautiful and I got the lone of an electric bike!
The variety which only kicked in when you cycled, very clever, so a very easy ride, my first bike ride in a few years this! out and back was around 13K in total, this is just the route back.
There was quite a lot of stopping en route, such as at the castle where Nicholas Cage apparently used to live!
Bath short 4K
Struggling with a few beers from the night before but it was a few days since my last run, I was quite happy with this!
I had aimed for 5K but with last night's food and beer and lack of sleep, I was feeling a bit queezy, so settled for 4K.
The route was great - suburban Bath and then along the river, just an out and back, ending up at an extreme hipster bakery where I was under order to pick up some cinnamon buns, which I must say were delicious. If you're ever in Bath - Mokoko bakery does some of the best coffee and pastries.
London Beckenham to Greenwich...
My friend knew the route by memory, otherwise it would have been hopeless - this is the way back, combined with the way there it was around 22K in total, given that this is south London it was a great route, 80% green and only a couple of busy London type junctions, recommended, but ideally you want a local who knows where you're going so you don't have to think about it!
Next weeks plans....
I'm back in Hereford for a few days then working in Shropshire next week, so ideally I'll get in a couple of decent runs back at home and then a couple of new ones where I'm working.
Should be good!
