Speed Block Week 3: 3000m Track Race

This week was a mix of focused track work and pure cross-country chaos. I took a rest day to recover on Monday, then did an easy 5K + 8 hill strides + 5K easy to build strength on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I raced a 3,000m open with Maldwyn Harriers for Children in Need and ran 11:06, just 7 seconds off my target of sub-11 — but it was a really enjoyable, productive session. Thursday was a chilled 60-minute easy run with some elevation, before a wild Friday session: 3 km at marathon pace (recovery 2min) 2 km at 10K pace (recovery 90s) 2 × 1 km at 5K pace (recovery 90s) I have had this session in my workout library for a while now but until recently I couldn't remember where I got it from. A great masters runner and fellow YouTuber John Broom (Two Running Brooms) did this session on his channel recently and he is coached by Andy Rayner (The FOD Runner) so I must have taken this session from Andy's channel a while ago — big shoutout to both for the inspiration. On Saturday, I ran Newtown Parkrun more for fun: chatting, encouraging others, and throwing in 6 strides in the middle to prime for Sunday’s Croft Castle XC. Sunday was the XC highlight at Croft Castle hosted by Croft Ambrey Running Club — muddy, slippery, and totally character-building. I wore Nike Ultrafly trail shoes, but their grip just wasn’t enough. I slid, slipped, and yes, I fell down a hill (on my bum) which gave me a wedgie like a sumo wrestler’s behind — even if I didn’t record it, it was hilarious in person. While I didn’t film on the course, this week taught me tons about strength, balance, and racing in tough conditions.
