I'm sat here tonight watching '28 Weeks Later' and playing some online poker and my legs are quite destroyed. This weekend i've really put them through a lot. On Saturday I ran in an event called the Hambledon Horseplay in Oxfordshire. I was working down there promoting Ronhill products and thought I would get involved. It was very much like the tough guy / Hellrunner but started on a showground and involved a lot of horse jumps before heading out on to the hills through rivers, ponds, bushes etc. It also started at 6pm so the last 30 mins were in the dark with my headtorch. I won the event and then after helping out post event I eventually arrived back in Manchester at 2:30am. Woke up today to watch the Wilmslow half marathon with Dave Anderson and Andy Cain on the bikes (my housemate and Brother were 4th and 6th respectively) and then cycled another 3 hours in the peaks with Anderson. My legs now feel like they have been hit repeatedly with a sledge hammer! I'm running in the Isle of Man Easter Festival next weekend which involves 3 races in 3 days and ussually a lot of drinking including a 13 mile run taking in 10 pubs after the Saturday race so I need to take it fairly easy between now and friday! Here is a summary of this weeks training:
