Great course - not done it for a few years it seems, legs felt very strong surprisingly after so long not biking. Running fitness transferrable to bike

Brick session, this bike and then a 4.6 mile run. Triathlon in 5 weeks, must start to extend the intensity of sessions

First part of a bike/run tri brick session - pretty quick and good run after

First bike for a while - harder than expected! Drained by Wallingford, all muddy sectors were very slow.

After a night out quite a touch to get started, but felt pretty good going around.

After a rainy night it was very muddy and the wind from the SW made any S or W segment pretty hard!

The first really big cycle ride I've done this year... kept making wrong turns. Some of the segments were very hard cycling

First cycle ride of the year, felt quite easy after all the recent running

Cycle ride with David and Tom on the tag-along and Matthew in the back seat

Whoa... 45 min 10k here we come. At this rate of improvement, by the end of the Winter - that's possible

Ahhh, hmmm. Maybe I blasted off a bit too fast? The end was quite alarming as calf popped about 1k out. Still a PB even though I walked the last 1k. Estimated I might have got 1:07 had the injury not occurred. Strange the middle sector at only 7mph - sure that one must be measured wrongly, maybe. Maybe I should be encouraged about opening 8 miles averaging over 8mph!

Went off very hard and maintained for a long time. Even felt very strong on the homeward sectors. Smashed the record and my PB by over 4 minutes

First run after the triathlon on Sunday and didn't quite feel as good as I thought it would. Lost more pounds aswell. Felt very lethargic in the middle of the run

Bike ride with the family

First really pushed run since I tweaked my calf and this felt much better - no trouble from the injury so felt largely ok. Lost some CV fitness but I'm sure that will come back. Annoyed 6s off my PB!

After a week off with family issues, felt quite strong with the start, but eased off for 5-15 mins to push the end harder. And I did!

Felt pretty good throughout - fast finish, final sector record. Slight calf tweak in the middle

Nice little cycle ride with David, Matthew and Thomas

Very cold, bitter morning at -5C. Took a while to warm up and felt like I started quite conservatively, but last two segments just felt like I was motoring... and ended up with three records! Very pleasing indeed to be at this stage before the new year!

Second part of a tri brick session after 9 mile bike

Great run and felt good throughout. Customary dip at middle segment - must push this hard to start pushing record territory.

Getting into it again ready for the triathlon in 6 weeks. Hard swimming sprint session last night aswell so shoulders very tight

Felt absolutely great, this run. Easily a PB but still not beaten Julia's record. It was quite comfortable, and there's more to come!

Felt quite lethargic on the way out, but last segment was definitely motivated. Still feel the old calf injury scar tissue aching, but not badly.

Second discipline in the brick session. Felt heavy-legged after an hour on the bike but great to get it complete and good finish. Very strange profile - started slowly and got faster throughout.

Good to get out, although too much breaststroke on Monday night made right hip very sore - but that wore off and good improvement from last week.

A good week's running so far and I was certain I'd get a fastest time for this as it's 4-5 weeks since the last Berry Run

Great to get out after a fewdays resting. Felt very good for the whole route, but not quite up to full PB fitness yet.

Good to get out, although too much breaststroke on Monday night made right hip very sore - but that wore off and good improvement from last week.

Quite a slow start, but then cracked lots of records in the middle... tried to push the end quite hard... but the muscles were quite tired by then... great to get a PB!

Found it quite hard to start with, and once again felt very strong at the end. Slight shin tweaks in the middle, nothing serious.

Little light run before the Marathon on Sunday, Didn't actually feel that good but was only supposed to be L5 (easy)

Cold frostry morning, sun rising. Long time since I've done this, so determined to get lots of records.

Second run of this spell sticking to the shorter distances to begin with - felt comfortable

Well, well. Slightly sore shins at the start so I thought this would be hard. Pleasantly surprised at maintaining good speed all the way.

After a week of a nasty chesty cold - glad to finally get back out. About 0 deg - crisp morning.

Felt pretty good - fourth day on the trot and no problems injury-wise

Really was the first one since the summer and the poor triathlon - must have taken Daisy...

In the week of the 13 miler, I thought this run would be hard - quite hard but felt very strong at the start and end

Second run of this spell sticking to the shorter distances to begin with - felt comfortable

Regime going well. This run felt quite comfortable, didn't really feel under pressure, wanted to keep it nice and steady and managed that. PBs will come!

Great end to the run. Felt really good for the last 30 mins. The first two sectors were against the wind, muddy, slippery and hard. Getting there!

Took it nice and easy as it was the first run in a week and had been suffering from knee injury for 5 days. Felt very relaxed until the last segment!

First evening run for a long time, was going to do 6.4 miles - ended up doing 9, and got a PB and a course record!

Quite easy, didn't really feel like pushing to today

Fed up waiting for the baby to arrive... so went out for a run. 5.66 miles is similar to Tims run...

Decided to avoid keep getting injured by running slower and trying to lose weight before speeding up... but still a respectable time!

Felt pretty good at the start and thought I might be able to break 1hr. But started slipping behind the target at the Burcot and eventually blew up several times in the run in

With Wendy

Moving the distance on a bit and felt very quite good, but need to step up the distance again quite soon

First run for quite some time after frantic work! Still felt calf niggle, but worked out after 10 minutes

Had a bit of a sore calf going out after too much Wii fit'ing yesterday. but toward the end felt quite ok.

Good solid run, ran out of steam a bit down the last 2 mile straight, but good not to have any injuries

Taking it very easy after a sore first-run-for-ages yesterday. Did't feel too bad at the end

An old run just back filling - can't remember how it went... must have taken Daisy...

Great start but suffered slow running in the mud! After a week of snow and rain and floods, the track is almost non-runnable. Have to run on the roads to get a good time.

Went off very hard... almost stupidly! and didn't feel good at all for the last 5 sectors, but just about kept it together for a PB - one that has stood for about 4y.

First run with Tom cycling along-side. Felt quite good throughout and beat Tom in the end... aaaahhhh.

Freezing weather, ground hard, temp -3C. Great running conditions! Quite hard to get into it, but then just kept on pushing and pushing. Fastest Overy for ~ 2ys!

Used MP3 player for first time - great!

Must get more running in, seem to be doing too much swimming and cycling. This was too slow for where I want to be

Cold & foggy. Felt ok but fell over!

After bike, swim and another bike, this was pretty tough going, though felt good at the start, soon ran out of steam big-time

Wanted to take it quite easy as I will do a longer run tomorrow. Weather cold and wet

First time on this route, had a knot in my calf, which cleared slightly as the run progressed

First run for a few weeks since the holiday, took daisy who was my pace maker - and much faster. Felt ok but muscles tight after tennis tournament yesterday

Windy and rainy. Muddy on the first two segments really slowed the overall time. But felt surprisingly strong in the second half.

Struggled today - probably after fast run yesterday

Run with Daisy - took it very easy so as to avoid similar calf injury as last week.

Still feeling the after effects of a winter bug, Felt ok, but need to keep the distance up.

Tried to break the route record, but felt quite lethargic after 3 sectors. Not bad anyway.

Another week of training abstenance apart from the customary sunday slog. Good news its that I definitely feel myself getting fitter. Nice run, but hard.

Raining but otherwise ok

Well! Heard only yesterday that I've got into the London Marathon so... training starts today. Light, relaxing run, quite easy, no injuries.

Long run for the first time in months. Noticeably slower than previously, especially the run-in.

Quite a tough run after yesterday's bike/swim/bike/run but needed to get out for a long run. Started pleasingly, but fatigue, heat and deyhdration all meant struggled tostay about 7mph by the end. Still... another PB.

After a week of cold and cough, I thought this would be hard. After a cracking first half, really suffered towards the end...

Had much more sleep than usual last night and as a consequence, felt ok today. Takes 3 miles generally before I get in a groove, and enjoyed the last 3m.

Monday off, so went out for loosener, didn't much enjoy it, didn't feel that great, but kept it slow as there are hard sessions to follow...

Ahhh - after a long time without a long(ish) run this was quite hard on the joints and limbs. Sprained my ankle half way around, but not too badly

Intervals so a bit slower than normal, but sprints were good. 1 minute hard / 2 min easy x 12. The minutes hard were... very distressing!

Another slower run to try to avoid injury - felt comfortable

First weekday run for some time. Felt good, plenty more to come to get training back up again.

Seeing how I compare to Julia 18 months ago... beat her time and showed more speed at the end. Horrible weather for me, sunny and 14-15 deg - very dehydrated. But surprisingly good speed at the end and felt comfortable.

Well, started out nice and lathargic and produced quite a consistent run and a nice time too. Opressive morning heat on the hottest day of the year aswell.

Felt great getting out today even for the longest run I've done for 6 months! Think I might have overcooked the first few sectors

Good after a couple of weeks of little running. Good final few segments

Another run after the 13 miler yesterday. This could become habitual?! Felt quite sore in the middle, then came alive a bit at the end it seemed. Quite pleasing improvement.

Slow and tiring - not good after a night out at a wedding reception either!

Took Daisy on this half-road, half-track run and she was brilliant! Shame I died quite badly in places and could not match her agility in knee-deep mud! But it was still awesome to get out and get cracking with a HM distance. Felt very strong and finished with only muscle fatigue, no injuries! Yeah!

Over easter, very hard to get into the swing... good first sector and managed to keep good pace until the sun started shining fiercely.

Hot, hot, hot - even though it was before 7am, it was hot and dehydrating.

-6C absolutely freezing, but still wind meant it was nice to run in. No problems despite length of time since last run.

Fourth run in four days. Still no fatigue or tiredness, so feeling confident can do a longer run at weekend.

Much faster than expected, felt quite good down the finishing straight too

Easy run , still sore from fall yesterday

Great to get out after 6 days of being locked up with the kids. Felt good throughout - bit tired toward the end, but still a promising time... Four months to the Marathon.

Medium pace as I've got club night tomorrow as usual. Quite slow still, seem to only ever perform in races!

visitors this weekend, so long run today... quite similar to many previous runs

A good mid-paces run after a tummy bug earlier in the week. Felt good throughout ready for a longer run tomorrow.

Ahhh - after two weeks off, stomach bug, cold & chest cough - this run wasn%27t always goingto be hard

Took it very easy and was barely out of breath for much of it. But need to stay ready for Sunday's 18 miler - in 48 hours time! Eeek.
