More daylight in the evenings has meant I have been able to return to an off road run around Horringer Farm.The course takes me along fields near by Horringer Court/School near to great Horringer Hall and then over to Lord Herveys Wood up and down Westley lane and return home through Horringer Court.
This was a lovely afternoon run and getting back to running over fields had me thinking of Spring and Summer being just around the corner.
The last time I ran this course it was a warm Autumn day and the ground was sticky. Today with the lack of rain the ground was frozen hard.
How did my time compare to last years ? Reasonable but room for improvement.

Don't race against yourself on your training runs - it would be tempting to push too hard.
ReplyDeleteMind you, I've done it loads of times, and am in no position criticising you ...
Just dropped by to say hi :-) and thanks for the read
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas. I guess its because I run virtually all of the time on my own and I find it all to easy not to push my self and run within a comfort zone. I know you are right but I just like to compare stats and get some kind of impression of whether I am improving. Once the clocks change for BST and I can get my camera out more I am generally stop/starting on runs and less occupied with the watch.
