Photo Credit - Mick Hall Mid Cheshire Block ! Post Podium to Battersea it's now time to get the hard yards in for a sub 16 attempt. Plan for this week is to get 1 really good session in on Tuesday - ideally with the group. I'll try and get as many miles in as I can BUT I'll do everything steadier - as I am expecting to be away (depending on Anges mum) - for the end of the week in Tenerife.

This blog is going to be a long 6 weeks from Podium to next race *** Monday 16th March 2026 Rest day. Starting the week from zero and letting the legs come good. Improve the diet from Saturday and keep up mobility / rehab. Tuesday Run 1 - 3 shakeout in the morning. Wake the legs up. 3 miles @ 9.04/mm nice and easy. This is the new shakeout route now weather is better and trails are holding up. Session - Eddington. 2.82 warm up, 1.51 cool down. Session was 3 x mile, 3 x 600 @ 8k and 1500 pace. All off 2 mins. The miles fe...
