It’s been a busy week at home and at work this week, so the fact that I’ve managed to stay to my plan I’m classing as a real success! I’ve managed 4 runs this week - exactly what Runna recommended!

On Tuesday I did 3miles over and under. On Thursday I did a 3.25miles easy run. Yesterday I squeezed in a 2.5mile easy run.

Today I’ve just finished my hilly long run of 7.1miles. I’m currently sitting in Tim Hortons in Salford writing this while I wait for my wife to complete the Manchester Hyrox. Just reading what you have to do in a Hyrox gives me palpitations!

I used Skamper to find a suitable route near Manchester and what a beautiful route it was around Prestwich Forest Park - you would never have known you were only a few miles out of Manchester.

And to top it all off (after getting a 5k PB last week) I got a 10k PB this week! Bonus.
