Training, with the coach

Ran around Dulwich Park (thank gawd we did it in the morning - it looks like it's gonna be a hot one today).

Ran for 37 minutes doing 'fartlek' training. As the author of this article says, "funny word, great training tool" (it means 'speed play' in Swedish).

Anyway, this meant a steady job around the park followed by five or six short bursts at a higher pace (not sprinting, just one notch up on the dial). 37 minutes of this was every bit as knackering as a full hour of steady running.

Need to fit a long run, and another 30 minute run in before next week and keep a food diary. Maybe my attention span is just long enough to manage eating sensibly for two weeks.
