Early morning run with the Mountbatten ladies. Interesting pace judgement by some of the athletes.
Sprint, get stitch or cramp, walk, sprint, get stitch or cramp, walk....repeat for two miles.
Apparently there is no logical explanation for either the stitch or the cramp and obviously no connection with the running pace....
I've decided to skip the usual gym session tonight - two reasons. Firstly, my heart rate is about 55 at rest (more than 10% over normal) which says I should rest, secondly, with the Romsey 5 this Sunday I don't need a tough session. I plan to taper down from now, so just a couple of short light runs between now and Sunday.

I like the pulse rate technique to decide when you need to rest. I remember you telling me that Paula Radcliffe used it. I have decided to try to keep a measure of my own pulse. I will try to add a comment to my run notes when I upload data from my Garmin.
FYI, it's 47 at the moment. I am taking that as an initial benchmark. It's 2.5 hours since we ran so I should be back to normal by now.
Excellent - 47 is pretty good.
