My training progress
last week’s target: 76k
achieved: 72k
year total to date: 3,432k in 45 weeks

weight: 65.5kg ▼
song of the week: “Headlights on Dark Roads”, by Snow Patrol, from "Eyes open".

I can't really see where I am going; I seemed to do OK this week despite my back causing trouble. I don't seem to be able to predict from week to week how Thursday's track races will go; some weeks I am way faster than others, for no particular reason. This will be week four of my new training régime, and I will keep hanging in there. In theory, I should start noticing some results soon. Let's hope the results are positive ones. I will be easing off slightly and looking for a snappy time in the 3000m this week.

Kelley snapped snapping.


A quick return to form saw Kelley run a great "Two Peaks" race yesterday. Well ahead of two speedyganders! Peter who ran one-peak is in the photo too, and some other old geezer. And look, there's the other twin peaker, Emma, in the background.
