And we are back..............

Update from last week, Hill run (5m) on Wednesday, Zoo run (5m) on Thursday.

The weekend saw a 6mile walk in the form of 1.5 rounds of golf !

Today was a shortened Regents Park run, 4.5 miles lead out at the pace of Gulzar, excellent result in that he did not stop at all. Good motivational talking from Mark and myself saw him push on through.

Straight in the gym for a 3km high pace bike ride to finish off. A bit of a recruitment drive in the last couple of days could see another 3 guys joining us from next week!

Tomorrow's plan is a solo fast pace Zoo run

Total training Miles: 55.8 miles

Jack & Jill ran up the hill ..............

Well, Mr Doyle, Gulzar, Mark and a new member of the Imagination running club, Julian did. Not sure if Jack or Jill were even out running today!

Today's route took in some of Regents Park then off to the top of Primrose Hill, a total distance of 5 miles with a elevation difference of approx 100ft so good hill training thrown in.

A degree of success saw Gulzar make it to the top of the hill without stopping, the other two were off like Mrs Doyle to an Orla Kiely sale !! I left Gulzar with a mile and a half remaining and ran in on my own.

More running tomorrow, this time past the zoo to say hello to the wildlife again

Training Miles to date : 41.3 miles

Now we are regular ..............

Lunchtime run of 4.8 miles completed today. Lap of Regents Park, passed London Zoo and waved at the giraffes!!


Took the boss (Mark) and a colleague (Gulzar) out too, lost the Gulzar after a mile and he ended up going a different route, Mark and I carried on, he is a bit of a runner so had to keep the speed up all the way mind you!!


Not a bad pace though, about 8 min/mile which if I could carry that on for another 21.4 miles that would bring me in at 3 hours 28 mins !!!! Yikes, at the end of the run today the thought of another 21 miles was probably the last thing on my mind!

On returning to the office and passing the restaurant, must admit was really tempted by the chips, but I was strong and in any case am off to ZiZi's tonight so will treat myself to a nice pizza!!

Garage Clearance tomorrow and kitchen shopping Sunday so will try and squeeze another run in at some point over the weekend.

Training Miles to date:     36.3 miles
