10 mins cooldown

A few quick kilometers; does not really qualify as speed work (all splits run in lane 2). Brief AF after 2000m - looks like (lack of) life is catching up...

19 Jan 2008

Running:
28km - 2:41

First long run this year. 2/3 marathon in 4 hour pace. A bit shorter than planned, but going in the right direction.

14 Jan 2008

Running:
13.7km - 1:18

Easy run and one successful attempt to get an AF at a murder hill. It was less than a minute, but I did get a reading; let's see if it is enough for a diagnosis...

11 Jan 2008

Running:
11.8km - 1:07

Another early run in Hyde park. A bit slower and very wet.

Running:
11km - 60:00

Early morning run in Hyde Park, London. Moderate speed, no problems.

05 Jan 2007

Running:
13.5km - 1:26

Had planned to do the first 30km run this year, but conditions were pretty crazy: ice, snow, mud, water and KM splits between 6:00 and 7:30 (!) made it more a cross-country run than anything else.

Left hamstring is playing up again, so will give it some rest which is a frustrating.

Went to see the proper cross-country runners at the Belfast International XC at Stormont.

02 Jan 2008

Running:
14.6km - 1:20

Moderate speed with a couple of kms at 5 mins. Cold and windy.

First run with the King of Hearts Express cardiac event recorder, courtesy of the NHS. This is now attached to this box by 2 leads for 2 weeks with the objective to have an atrial flutter...
