Ds2's Polish tennis coach says that he flies back to Poland for dental treatment as it's cheaper and better. So is probably a nuisance getting in the way of your holiday but might be a good thing!!

Track tonight was ace, but felt a bit cold! :-o

I wore my new Hokas and they're amazing. :-) I felt like I was flying on the intervals. We did a mile first, then Monagetti Fartlek:
2 x (90sec on, 90 sec off)
4 x (60 sec on, 60 sec off)
4 x (30 sec on, 30 sec off)
4 x (15 sec on, 15 sec off)

I think I'll sleep well tonight :-)

Morning :)

Nice one MM.

I did that session once Som, just on my own, but enjoyed it. I think I'd read about it in one of Ocelot Spleens' blogs once.

Morning. Just back from my first track session for about a year! We did 400 repeats and my foot (or my other bruised foot/backside) didn’t play me up. Result!

That session you did sounds tough Som!

AR, I'd never done the session before but a few people seem to know about it. I thought it sounded like an Italian pasts dish.

CK2, that's good news and sounds a good session. Mine was tough but I walked the recoveries rather than jog to enable me to run harder than usual on the efforts.

I'll take your cold and raise you



Baby asked for a ride to school - and i nearly crased the 4x4 volvo at the first junction 😬😬😬. Brakes did zip and we were a hair's breadth from passing car.

Haven't you got your winter tyres on yet ITG? I think my sister's getting hers on any time now.
