So this week has marked a return to training for me, after recovery from my unfortunate encounters with the pavement. It's in the middle of exams for Jess and I right now, so we've just been trying to fit in training wherever we can.
Jess
This week she posted an entry earlier which can be found here, talking about how training for the first time is going again, and smoothly (knock on wood). We'll hopefully get in some runs sometime soon, oh that and it's almost time for her to probably bring her bike out and christen it out on the road.

Saturday - Well because our race that was supposed to run Sunday got cancelled, we instead did races on computrainers. My goal was to not come last and I fulfilled that goal, it was pretty sweet. I managed to average about 220 watts (or thereabouts, have to go look at the ride data when it gets posted) over a 20k hilly course. So I'm pleased with how it went, but it just shows how much more I have to go
Monday - I managed to do a relatively easy 7 mile rune, wasn't pushing the pace horribly so, around an 8:40
Tuesday - So i'm now in the portion of my program where intervals are run more for strength (so only 10 seconds faster than race pace) but for 1600m or longer, so in my case I've been targeting 8 minute miles. I just need to run 6 miles worth of intervals, so today's schedule was 6x1, I really do hate intervals, like really really really do.
Thursday - Thursday's have become my race pace days, I was supposed to do something like 6 or 7 miles today, skimped and did 5, but I hit the 8:30 mark. I just need to be more consistent while doing so now.
~Cheers
