Back to the training...

Since the Picnic I've been back running regularly over at Hankley Common. I've also been trying to mix things up a bit with visits to the gym, cycling (road and off-road) and swimming. The gym sessions are designed to increase my upper body strength - in particular my arms. I was surprised at how much my arms were aching after the Picnic marathon - running up hills requires good strength in the the arms and shoulders. I've also been back on the rower for some longish sessions. My latest efforts produced a 40'52 10k and a 5k in 20'13. I need to get under 40' and 20' respectively and also test myself over 2000m.
