Drove up to Bristol this morning for a steady run with Phil Brooks. Phil has now completed more Ironman distance races than me and is still so, so enthusiastic about Triathlon - He really puts me to shame. He's a member of Bristol and District Tri ( BAD Tri ) but we try not to mention that !
We ran from Shirehampton, over the M5 bridge and along the river footpath, up into Leigh Woods, over and around Ashton Court, back through Leigh woods to rejoin the river footpath back to the start. Just under three hours and 20 miles covered.
Amazing how you can find things to talk about whilst running for three hours. Phil attempted to get to the bottom of my ongoing inability to finish a race, what makes me tick and what I need to drive me to glory instead of looking for excuses to drop out.
Thanks for a great run Phil, will definitely be up to run it again !
Anyway, my legs felt great all the way round. I returned home and massaged my legs with Magnesium spray before sticking compression tights on - we'll see what they are like tomorrow. I bought some Magnesium spray to try having read a article on the web written by Ben Greenfield www.bengreenfieldfitness.com who recommends it as a means of promoting muscle recovery.
