So its summer where day time temperatures are not the friend of runners. I don’t anticipate being able to do anything more than the occasional long run and will focus instead on weekday club training sessions at Paddington Rec. Track and Hills at Primrose Hill.
Summer League is a series of Sunday 3 x 5 mile & 2 x 10km races each hosted by a London based running club : 2 down so far with last one in mid-august. Its clear that I need to work hard on restoring some lost speed over these shorter distances. My 5mile times are about 4 minutes slower than when I last ran these races in 2023.
The club puts on 1km, 1 mile, & 3000m races but I will just do the 1km. I also have some 10km races including the Middles County Championships as well as the Big Half Marathon before we hit the autumn Marathon races starting with Berlin for which I got a last minute pace.
