Last night's track session down at Spen was typically tough and comprised of a mile warm up, 6 x 1000m reps (4:30) with 200m active recovery, and a mile warm down.
Interestingly, me brand spanking new Garmin has clocked the 'mile' warm up/down at nearly one and a half miles, so we've been doing the best part of a mile additional distance than we thought at each track session. Ha!
Anyway, it was typically solid and negotiating hoards of unruly kids with zero track etiquette made matters a bit harder. They'll soon learn when they get a whack off someone's spike...
Anyway, tonight is a rest night, so I've taken the opportunity to cook up a monster batch of my special recipe curry, which I have refined over the best part of a decade - big up massive junglist respect to Madhur Jaffrey for the initial inspiration!
So, after a lot of chopping, blitzing, stirring and tasting, my masterpiece was ready. It's an incredibly cheap, healthy and tasty recipe. However, due to the (some might say excessive) chilli content - fourteen birdseyes in this one - it's scorchingly hot and therefore not recommended for pre-race fodder. Unless you want to experience a catastrophic anal prolapse, mid-run. Which I don't.
Therefore, it is only recommended for post-race consumption, definitely with a couple of chapattis and preferably with an ice cold weissbier or two. Make that three.
I'll leave you with a tantalising image of the fruits of my labour - all five portions (2kg) of it!
Portion one will be consumed as described above after Saturday's long run. Can't wait!
Tomorrow night is a steady 10 miler so I'll report back on that one in due course. Over and out for now.
