No Crossy Lad these days so had to call in the man from the Valley - Taffy Jimmy Matthews to do a few laps at PAP to end the week.
Got there before him (surprise, surprise he was late) knocking out 500m before we settled on a small set of 200s and 100m efforts. He looked pretty strong throughout sitting on my feet the whole way before we set up a little challenge of 4 x 50m efforts rolling every 60 seconds to finish. Once Taffy had blasted out his 'Land of my Fathers' national anthem we were away.
Pushed hard on each hitting 42-43 for each with Jimmy a few seconds behind.
1800m all done and with the (Ryan) Giggs/ (Alan) Shearer Trophy safely tucked under my arm we retreated in the sun for a much needed coffee.
Pretty solid week of training completed, Tuesday was very hard in that heat, but Thursday was much better. Will try to knock out my long Sunday run this week with 26k +
Quiet weekend planned once more, no premiership footy this week due to the 4th round of the FA Cup, Stoke not involved (preferring to mount a challenge to Europe) and to keep Sammy Agnew happy I'll give the Timmy's Tip prediction to his boys.
Crystal Palace 1 v Man City 3
Have a good weekend
Train well, stay safe
Cheers
It would not surprise me if we actually turn them over given it's the bloody cup
