Yesterday with four rowers and one cox we took part in a 7 mile gig race. I have aquired weirdest sunburn, a very crampy pair of bottom cheeks and some splendid blisters on my right hand from the oar
It was the equivalent of the first sections of Yorky on water š
All of us were like āwhat the actual F are we doing this is vileā and at the end?
That was awesome when can we do it again! š
Iām having that as my long run this week. In the chop and tide it was a beast of a race
Hope you all had a good weekend in the sun!

Some great work in the boat, FRU
And well done on the run, Coachie.
I'm back on it. Usual 4 mile loop done nice and easy. I'm actually contemplating a fell race on Wednesday.

Nice work all of you! Nice pics too!!!
Iām hoping the fitness will get back into my run legs soon. It really helps having years of run experience on the races cos you have to use same head. Yesterday was really tough
Do it XB. Iād love a fell run. Am hopeful to start off road here again this week

I know you are all doing amazing training
Northern enjoy that sunny week! And nice one on a sunny run! Happy birthday
DT the carb loading looked amazing! Also happy birthday
XB park run sounded like a winner!!!
Iām feeling like I have a base but that the base needs stretching. We are away this weekend. A total hide out. In a place thatās about 40mins from ours. Itās been amazing. Weāve done very little except sleep, mimble around the village and the marshes and relax. Just what was needed after being a bit frazzled
Next week my plan is to start going up in miles. And make a plan

The weekend threw a challenge my way with a need to run and a row race. Interesting day! I managed to use the pre race trundle as a decent warm up and then the 5 mile row race which was gritty to say the least. We didnāt do well as we had limited crew available and those in the boat were mis matched. Interesting to see how that really impacts things where one side is much stronger than the other. But. We turned up and we completed it with every bit of energy in a non stop 1:10 time and race pace all of that. Iām proud to have completed it. The team not so proud which makes me sad. I think you have to be in these things. And you have to hold your head high at completing!
Which brings me nicely onto Yorky
Iāve been building a daily run again so have spent time concentrating on that. Itās been an eye opener. However this week my aim is to do at least two runs where I can work upwards to 3 and then think about long runs going up to 6/7 miles. I have a good off road loop I can do, that I can ācompleteā. Mixing run/stomp is the best way to do that
In mind of Swittle the not a streak hit 100 days and Iām at least feeling that I can do that. The saver route also is half mile up and hill and then half mile back down. I keep thinking about the start of Yorky!
Northern blinding result completing Ilkley well done you!!!! ā¤ļø
Howās everyone else doing
