Back to the Grind

Tuesday Night is running night

Well that’s unless you’re working or away, which I have been.

But back to the regular Tuesday night sessions with the Tynedale Harriers and Derek’s regimen is tough after being off it for several weeks now. The calf muscle held up though even on the steeper efforts. I need to keep this up if the Hobble is not going to be just that a ‘hobble’.

Just over five miles tonight. track and map

    I’ve heard that Dereks group is very relaxed and easy going. Have they changed the format or am I talking about the wrong Derek (Cobbler with little or no hair)

    That’s the man and I guess it is, relaxed and easy going at the person level but that doesn’t make the hill less steep or improve Derek’s counting ability. “.. we’ll just do six of these..” some minutes later “.. is that five or six we’ve done now?“
