I started my week of hard training the day after the regionals with a speed session at the track. I wouldn't usually advise speedwork the day after a race but I felt I needed to up the game a bit for the weekend by sharpening up and getting onto my toes.
I dragged myself out of bed early on Monday morning and did a recovery gym session with plenty of stretching and some core work. My track session consisted of 12x400m at 80 second pace which I was pleased with. Another tough swim session on Tuesday morning, and back in the gym again Wednesday morning.
The track session on Wednesday night was 8x800m. I felt the benefit of Mondays short sharp work and worked at 86 second pace.
I completed another tough swim session with WSSC on Thursday morning to rest my legs and recover from the previous nights track session; I'm still a terrible swimmer but not quite as terrible as a year ago!
I was happy with the way I felt last Sunday after a steady long run on the Friday, so I repeated this on Friday evening having hit the gym on Friday morning.
Saturday was a much appreciated rest day!
On Sunday at Woodbridge the course was the same as it was earlier this year, with wide farmland tracks and sandy terrain. I had a moderate start, I didn't think it necessary to put my foot down straight away as there were no narrow sections early on. I couldn't hang on to Julian who is flying at the moment but felt I had a strong race with consistent pace. I finished 29th overall and first lady. Steve Robinson won the race comfortably.
I'm really pleased with this race as my time was exactly the same as when I ran the race February, with similar splits. I was two phases of fitness further forward in February so to acheive the same time is encouraging, I just hope my fitness hasn't peaked too soon. If I've misjudged the timing of my fitness I will be burnt out and tired for the races I hope to peak for in 2012 so fingers crossed this isn't the case!
My next race was Wednesday at UEA. I don't like to train at the track on a Monday if I'm racing on the Wednesday and also felt that after the hard training the week before I needed to taper and relax for a couple of days. I had a recovery gym session on Monday morning and was pretty tired during my swim session on Tuesday, to be honest I was useless!
The course at UEA was interesting to say the least! I had a strong start and got on the back of the leading men. We followed our usual route through Earlham Park and upon reaching the lake encountered a roll of chicken wire across the boarded path around the lake and several men on all fours tacking it on! We jumped over the chicken wire (well most of us did!) and warned the men we were on our way through, negotiating our way round them.
I moved up to fourth overall in the last mile of the course, and finished first lady. Emma ran well and finished 6th lady for pacers and Eloise and Cathy both had a great run. Overall a great result for Pacers ladies.
On Friday Herbi and I headed up to North Norfolk with my Mum and Dad for a family weekend away. We stay at a self catering suite in Cley next the Sea. The living room has a lovely woodburner, which came in very handy as it was freezing cold and poured with rain all afternoon! I headed out for an early(ish) run along the coastal path on Saturday morning, accompanied by Herbi on the bike. It was beautiful, so quite and white with frost. We did 10 miles, and after brunch and copious mugs of tea headed off to Holkham for a walk on the beach.
The walk was great, I've never been to Holkham before and quite fancy running that leg of the Round Norfolk Relay! We hit the Adnams shop afterwards and had a great time tasting the wine and chocolate liqueurs! They had lots of kitchen stuff as well as gifts to drink and eat so we bought plenty of Christmas presents as well as some mulled wine for the evening.
In the afternoon we lit the woodburner and drank rather a lot of mulled wine before a meal at the pub down the road. We headed off to Dereham the following day and met the rest of our family and some friends for the Santa Special train trip and a meal out afterwards.
After a lovely chilled out weekend it was back to the grindstone on Monday morning. I had another race scheduled for Wednesday so I didn't go to the track Monday night, I had a lie in and used the gym in the evening instead! I had a hard swim session on Tuesday morning to set me up for Wednesday.
This weeks race was at Reepham. Last year the course was under snow so you couldn't really see what you were running over. We were ready to contend with the ploughed field and river crossing we contended with last year, although the foliage and bogs seemed harder to negotiate without a layer of snow over them!
How wrong were we! The first half of the course had changed this year and we had a river crossing we weren't expecting in the first half mile with a boggy water meadow leading to and away from it. We then had to climb over a five bar gate which I have to say I did very badly! Pete Golding is an expert at vaulting such gates so I'm hoping he will pass his expertise on!
No ploughed field this year, instead we ran round a field before a nice downhill stint on a grass track. A bramble patch and another water meadow preceded a deep river crossing that, again, we weren't expecting! Another stint on the water meadow and we tackled the water crossing from last year which was very easy in comparison to the others!
I was a bit further back in comparison to the men than I was last week at UEA, so some work to be done there. I finished first lady and Eloise and Cathy were a fantastic 8th and 14th respectively! Another great result for the Pacers Ladies.
I take my hat off to Chris and Peter who ran round it twice.
Having completed the first phase of races for this season the plan was to put in a few weeks of hard training again to move my fitness forward in preperation for the second phase of racing in January. However, I was shattered on Thursday so ducked out of my swim session in the morning! I started training again on Friday morning with a gym session in the morning and a hill session in the evening. The hill session was tough, 10 reps of the hill on the left hand side of Ickworth Deer Park. I felt stronger than the last couple of times I did this session so my fitness has improved.
Herbi and I went to his work Christmas Parties on Friday and Saturday night. I couldn't get out of bed in time to run with the boys on Sunday morning but eventually managed to drag myself out to complete an enjoyable 14 miles round Ickworth Park in the snow.
Even though the Formula One season is over I can't post a blog without a mention of my favourite sport. I'm pleased to see the new driver line-up of Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Riccardo at Toro Rosso. Both very talented drivers I've followed in Formula Renault 3.5 this season. The change in driver line up at Force India with Nico Hulkenberg joining Paul Di Resta should also bring some exciting racing.
I'm looking forward to some hard quality training over the Christmas period, as well as two weeks in Goa in January! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year........................

The first phase of cross country races, and the final GP of the season
This week, the first phase of cross country races has gone well. A gym session on Monday and a WSSC swim session on Tuesday morning left me feeling ok but not as sharp as I would like for the EACCL race at Whittlingham on Wednesday. Thanks to Chris for the lift and leaving later than he would have liked and from a different location to accomodate my working schedule!
We weren't entirely sure where the course was when we jogged round a warm up semi-lap, but hey ho there are usually a fair few people in front to follow. I had a good start and put my foot down from the onset, multiple steep stairs in the first mile were tough and I couldn't stay with Julian after the first mile. We took the wrong route so added a little bit to the proposed distance but to be honest I think everybody did! I'm just thankful that I didn't follow Chris's route and add an extra half mile on at the far end of the lake!
I finished first lady so was pleased with that. Eloise and Cathy both ran well 17th and 24th respectively, not sure where we finished as a team but hopefully we can claw our way back towards the lead over the next few races. I wore my innov8 x-talon 190's, a good choice with the mix of trail grass and hardcore track.
A tough swim session on Thursday morning with WSSC, a gym session on Friday morning and then a steady 10 mile run on Friday evening left me relieved to take a rest day on Saturday.
The Eastern Counties cross country was held on Sunday at Royal Hospital School, Holbrook. I felt that a steadier start would be beneficial today as we were racing with the under 17s and under 20s. I managed to be late to the start line, start at the back and collide with a hedge early on, but extracted myself from the hedge fairly quickly and made my way up the field. I got to the front runners 3/4 of the way round the first lap but they got away from me later on in the lap. I started to pull them back halfway through the second lap and decided to pass at the start of the hill and put my foot to the floor all the way to the finish rather than strategically sitting behind untill the top of the hill. Fortunately it worked out and I finished first, so really pleased. Innov8 x-talons again today.
The icing on the cake for this week has to be Jenson Buttons third place at the Brazillian Grand Prix and second place in the drivers championship, wicked!
A few days of hard training are on the cards this week before the cross country at Woodbridge at the weekend......................

A fortnight of quality training and a win for McLaren
Having completed a fortight of hard quality training I'm pleased to say I'm feeling sharper and fitter than I was earlier in the month. If I have a couple of weeks in between races I like to increase the intensity and volume of my training to move up a level fitness wise before the next race.
I've been to the track on a Monday and a Wednesday both weeks, and feel that I've improved over the course of the sessions, which is nice! I've also added in a hill session a week, increasing the number of intervals each week. We are very fortunate to live within a mile jog of Ickworth Park so its easy for me to jog over to the steep hill on the left hand side of the deer park, run some intervals and jog home. There are a couple of decent hills on the way home so I usually work hard on these to complete the session.
I treated myself to some new kit from Vince's shop Runability prior to commencing the intense training, it certainly made a difference as I felt more comfortable and a lot less scruffy than when I train in my work t-shirts :-) Vince recommended some gortex innovate 275 shoes as my long runs are mostly off road with short sections of road included. These have been great; warm dry feet with plenty of grip on muddy tracks and adequate cushioning for the road.
I've stuck to the three swim sessions a week whilst increasing my running and seem to be improving a little. The warm weather has also enabled me to continue cycling on a Sunday ( as a fair weather cyclist I usually pack my bike away for the winter at the end of October!)
I'm now tapering down for the first of a series of races. This is the RAF Wednesday League race at UEA next week, followed by the Eastern Counties XC champs on Sunday.
On the work front the Sports Injury Clinic at the Bury Natural Health Centre is now open every Saturday from 8am to 1pm. I'm also working at the Osteopathic Centre for Family and Children in Cambridge from 9am -12pm the first Thursday of every month.
It was great to see the two McLaren boys on the podium at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Had Jenson not had the KERS issue I guess he would have finished second rather than third, but here's hoping he can keep his second place in the championship. I'm looking forward to the final race of the season in Brazil next weekend, going to have to jump in the car straight after the race at Eastern Counties and head home so I don't miss the start!

XC races
I made good use of the time out of training whilst my back settled down and got stuck into writing up my thesis. By Wednesday I needed a break from it so stopped off at the Pacers to join in with the track seesion. Great session, I'm not particuarly track fit at the moment and have plenty of work to do but its a good start. I'll try and get there at least once a week over the winter months.
I felt confident that I was ok to run a cross country race so decided to give the Ampthill Challenge trophy a go at the weekend. I'd never run this course before, and have to say its the toughest track I have ever raced! Lots of steep hills but fortunately dry weather had resulted in light firm terrain. It was a two lap course; I was pretty much finished after the first lap but kept going for the second lap. I finished 3rd lady so really chuffed with that! I felt incrediby unfit, but I guess my training programme for a fast flat 5 mile road race wasn't particuarly good preperation for this race! I'd like to have a go next year and train properly for it. I'm sure its helped my fitness :-)
I've picked up the swimming again now, increasing to 3 sessions a week. I'm determined to get the hang of front crawl by the end of the winter! Managed to get to the track on Wednesday, just half a session as I was racing again on Saturday. Saturday's race was the eastern region v Cambridge Uni v RAF held this year at Gog Magog Downs. Not quite as hilly as the previous weekend but still a tough course. I finished 3rd again so happy with that.
We had some friends round for dinner later that evening, had a lovely evening, lots of food and booze and a really good catch up. Managed to fit in a 25 mile bike ride on Sunday morning before the Indian Grand Prix. Enjoyed chilling out with a cup of tea whilst watching Jenson Button drive superbly to finish 2nd. The Indian Grand Prix is our wishlist to attend in the future!
The next xc race is towards the end of November so the aim over the next few weeks is to fit in some harder sessions and man-up!

Weekend in Lake Garda
What a weekend! After a panic on Thursday when our friends Pete and Sarah Golding informed us that our outbound flight to Verona had been cancelled (good job they did as Ryan air didn't bother informing us!), we managed to book a flight to Milan.
Fantastic weather all weekend, sunny and warm, beautiful scenery and yummy food! We took Mum and Dad with us this year, it was great to take them to the Town Hall in Limone where we got married and the restaurant where we had our wedding meal, as well as the beach where we necked bottles of Forst after the ceremony!
We bumped into Pete and Sarah on their way to pick Sarah's number up for the marathon. Great to see them, and great to see that Jenson Button was second on the grid for the Japanese Grand Prix the following day, and even better to see him win the race the following morning.
We managed to fit some shopping in, couldn't resist as they have some gorgeous clothes here!
Had a swim in the very choppy lake, bit of a learning experience for me as I've never swum in rough water before. Bit scary to start with but I got the hang of it in the end.
We heard that Sarah had finished the marathon in 3:40, what a great result!
I thought that a relaxing weekend would be the ideal preperation for the Wix 5 mile the following weekend, and was looking to a couple of training sessions in the week. Unfortunately when we got to Verona airport I srtaed to get some pain in my left shoulder. I thought nothing of it, then when I stepped off the plane at Stansted my back seized up and I was stuck! I'd leant forward to catch my breath when it seized and couldn't stand up straight again. How embarrassing, it must have looked like I was throwing up! In the end the very kind and helpful staff got me a wheelchair and wheeled me out to the car.
I had to lie very still for 24 hours and take some diazapam and now now back on my feet again, with a very sore shoulder though. Unfortunately the Wix 5 doesn't look very likely to happen for me on Sunday. I'm really disappointed as I'd been following an eight week training programme to get me ready and had worked hard during the speed sessions. On a positive note the programme contributed to a great run in the round norfolk relay and got me round the first cross country race of the season so it wasn't in vain.
Time to make use of some time out of training and racing and crack on with my PhD..........

Barnham XC
Icing and anti-inflammtories seem to have done the job, no swelling around the ankle Wednesday morning. I strapped it and thought I'd see how it felt on a warm up lap of the xc course. It felt fine, I decided that as long as I ran in clear air so I could see where I was putting my feet and stayed on my toes it should be ok. The course was mostly through woodland and a very nice one to kick the season off, albeit a bit windy with some rough ground in places.
I had a good start and got into clear air straight away. I worked hard on the level woodland tracks and tiptoed carefully through the tank hazards. I ran most of the course with Chris Cooke, who was running very well. I'm thankful that ladies run one lap less than the men as I don't think I could have stayed with him for another lap!
I came in about 40 seconds in front of a young girl running for UEA, think she's one to watch and will be stiff competition for future races! Emma Figures finished in 3rd place for Pacers Ladies and Trish Dennison 5th. Fantastic turnout for the Pacers today 13 runners, really good to see the Wednesday Club girls again, Cathy Lambert, Pat Partridge and Eloise Calver all ran well. Nice to see some new faces in the Mens team too.
Bring on the next one! :-)

New Garmin!
Well I tried out the Garmin 610, managed a somewhat pathetic jog from Mum and Dads round Nowton Park. The ankle was a bit iffy, feels unstable off road and my legs felt like lead, think thats due to the mankey cold. Definately wouldn't have wanted to have run any further than 2.5 miles but I got round in one piece. A session on the wobble board on Tuesday, icing, anti-inflammatories and some cough mixture and I'll see how everything is on Wednesday morning before I make my decision.
The 610 was great, easy to use and very smart. I even managed to download the software and upload my run to face book all on my own ;-)

a week of ups and downs.....
Well the week started off well, had a good speed work session on Monday, 12x400m at 90 second pace with 45 second recoveries. It was hard work but I felt strong and was looking forward to my first Frostbite League race on Sunday. I had a good swim session on Tuesday morning, I think I'm improving a little :-) After a busy day at work I fancied a quick 14 miles on the bike as it was such a beautiful evening.
On Wednesday evening I planned to run 5x1mile reps in Ickworth. I was going well and almost at the end of my third rep when I landed awkwardly on a tree route and sprained my ankle, the same one I sprained in Cyprus earlier in the year. It hurt like hell and I couldn't put my foot on the ground for a few minutes. I was 4 miles from home with no mobile phone, whoops! After a while I got hobbling and then managed an easy jog home, ice pack straight on!
Fortunately it didn't blow up as much as it did the first time I did it. Plenty of icing and rest for a few days its now looking pretty good. No Frostbite League for me on Sunday though, its not ready to run at a reasonable pace off road yet.
Friday night I started to get a sore throat and felt a bit rough, and then on Saturday the sore throat turned into a mankey cold, felt rubbish! I blame Herbi, he had it last week! Had a brilliant night out at Ravenwood to celebrate our wedding anniversary, fantastic meal and great atmosphere.
Still felt a bit rubbish on Sunday morning but a little better than the day before so decided to take the bike out. Did 20 miles, that was far enough for me today! The ankle was ok, just twinged a little when I unclipped my foot.
I'm hoping to run on Monday, snot allowing, the ankle should be ready by then! I'm desperate to try out my Garmin 610, a birthday present from Herbi!
Here's hoping the ankle and everything else is ok for me to run at Barnham on Wednesday.............
