Running

I tend to just do:

• Stare at maps a lot before
  
• Run from memory
  
• Don't worry about it unless I get completely lost (unlikely around here)
  
• Look at the map afterwards to see where I went, and where I went wrong
  
• Don't make the same mistakes again (make different ones sure, but make fewer mistakes each time)
  
  

Having a good memory helps, although I know my memory is very visual. I've been amazed at how little I recognise (or how much is completely new to me) if I run one of my normal routes backwards for example.

10k loop run today. No walking (except for a few steps up to the lights waiting to cross the A3 by Robin Hood Gate) so no excuses any more, plus a SB by 90 seconds.

Also decided not to extend my runs longer than 10k, or introduce intervals, until my weight is under 90kg. Don't want to fuck up my glorious summer with an injury. Back to the pool from April 12th and back on the bike when MiniGB goes back to school after Easter. Some long slow distance rides (staying relatively local) should help with the calorie deficit.
