I have a new job. This is a very very exciting thing, and I'm bouncing about like a small child. I'll write about that elsewhere though. The important thing here is that it has an effect on my training.
Most of my training fits around work - I used to run at lunchtimes (not possible now unfortunately), but my main long intense run is (or was - I'm still on short commons because of the plantar fasciitis) on a midweek evening, homewards from work.
The new job is in Leeds, which is about 20 miles on the train. 20 miles is a nice doable distance once I get back to normal fitness, one or maybe two evenings a week or so, but there's very little ascent on the direct route. So I was thinking "OK, I can run on the towpath out to Shipley, do that at a brisk pace and I'll get a good workout in. THEN I can head up onto the moors for the rest of the journey".
This is obviously gruelling and stupid. I'm really looking forward to it.
