24th Jan: Track session, 4 sets of 700m (90s jog) 300m, with 3 min recovery between sets. Really misty tonight - looked like freezing fog coming off the track. Tried not to get too out of breath, was coughing badly between sets and chest getting really tight - not sure how much was due to the cold air! Enjoyed the 300ms, hitting 55-56.
25th Jan: Spinning class. Worked really hard to compensate for lack of run this morning. Still coughing
26th Jan: 5miles at lunch on the treadmill. I hate running on treadmills, not only is it dull and I bang my arms, knees etc on the sides but I also get really dizzy when I step off. Felt a lot better, apart from the dizzyness. No coughing, indicating it's the cold air giving me problems.
27th Jan: Rest
28th Jan: Midlands XC Champs, Nottingham: 50th, 3rd Team! Good run, tough course - see more in race report. Long warm down, 10miles in total.
29th Jan: Attempted long run on the Wrekin, couldn't breathe in freezing fog, coughing. 7 miles as had to turn back.
(week = 28miles)
