Well I am certainly on target for hitting 9 “sessions” in the Algarve sun. I have completed 8 and I am fairly confident I can get another two in before I go home. I don’t think I am on target to get a personal best in the Lagan 10k on sept 4th but I am satisfied that I have retained a decent fitness level over the past three weeks.

Today’s interval session was particularly tough as it was extremely hot throughout. I was really dehydrated and it did slow me down a little. Nonetheless it was another one done and I am hoping that running in the cold north of Ireland will now seem a lot easier!
