Phase 1 was 18- 10 milers with 3 mile trials, phase 2 was 18- 12 milers and 3 X 2km fast. Now time to race and race preparation. Tomorrow is a day off/ice achilles and relax.

Dead legged up the hills 12.43 trails

Same trail run 1:41:33 felt good going out but still tired on the hills. Dead legged up hill have to put in quite a bit of effort to get up the hills. 1 more to go should feel better for the last run. Saw Stuart Galloway out there talked a bit with him. He looks fit.

Need more oxygen

Feel really tired when I hit the hills today and yesterday with Polly. today I was 1:43:50 and tired in the breathing department, must be working the oxygen stores. Trail run wet but it's drying out. Trails should be better tomorrow. 2----12 mile runs to go in this 3 week phase of mileage. Looking forward to recharging the batteries and hitting a good 5k.
