Week: 10/01/2011
Day: Friday
Time: Midday 6
Weather: Overcast/Rain. 6c.
Pace/Type: Easy
Course: Short work circuit, Track/Road.
Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 (Meduim, Support, D Width)
Clothes: Adidas Response short sleeve top. Adidas shorts.
Health: Caught a virus, but going to see how it goes.
Sleep: Not great
Distance: 2 miles
Time: No time
Comments: Definitely got a virus of some sort, but compared to the last one, it's not too bad. After the run I felt better having blown out my lungs and sinuses. I'm starting to be able to gauge when a virus is bad enough to not run and when it's runnable. It started raining on the home straight, which felt great.
Also starting to be able to make better calls on which tops/shorts to wear depending on the temp and weather:
Above 6c and not raining: Short sleeve single layer, shorts
Below 6c, wind and rain: Long sleeve zip neck, shorts
0c or below: Long sleeve zip neck with light training top underneath, tights not shorts
Run Review
Week: 10/01/2011
Day: Wednesday
Time: 9pm
Pace/Type: Easy
Course: Home circuit, Road.
Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 (Meduim, Support, D Width)
Clothes: Adidas Response Half-Zip long sleeve top. Adidas shorts.
Health: Both insides of my shines are recovering from injury.
Sleep: Good
Distance: 2.4 miles
Time: No time
Comments: I could feel the inside of my lower legs for most of the run. I'm hoping they will settle down as long as I don't push it too much too soon. New shoes feel great. If the shins don't settle down it could be a visit to the GP or someone else to see what my options are to sort this out. It's been hugely frustrating waiting for the shoes (just as well to make me not run).
Fingers crossed for the next one. Will see how legs feel tomorrow.

New Shoes
I finally got my hands on a new pair of running shoes.
I wanted exactly the same as my last pair, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10. But actually, since trying on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 (new in the shop this month), they felt really nice.
I'm probably going to try them out later on for a short 2.5 miler. Shins are feeling a lot better. Just hoping the shoes going was the reason!
