+## Tuesday
+
+A beautiful afternoon run through the Chevin Forest park. The legs feel good after a few days off after my big run at the 
+weekend. I explore some different ways, testing the inclines for other sessions next week. I do some bursts of speed as I 
+go and everything feels great. I make it through the woods pretty quickly and end up flying down East chevin road and have
+to extend my loop through town to make up 5 miles. 
+
+## Thursday
+
+I'm out practicing the first 5 kilometres of the Six dales trail up to Clifton and doing my best trying to find what a 
+slightly upper intensity effort feels like. It's quiet out this early and by the time I'm cutting through Newall I have the 
+path mostly to myself. Once I'm through the stile and into the fields not even the cows seem to be about. Things slow on
+the climb up but I manage to keep the intensity whilst reducing the pace all the way up. I get into and out of Clifton 
+and make the turnaround. I fly my way back down, slowing down for the narrow, rooty section but negative split myself 
+all the way down to the approximate finish line of Six dales trail race in Wharfemeadows park. 
+
+## Friday
+
+A clear Friday morning and I head out to the old Otley railway line for descending ladders. The flat, wooded track is 
+perfectly just over a kilometre which allows me to focus on speed and cadence and not worry overly about tripping over.
+I feel really good and focus on not starting to quick and gradually stepping up the effort as intervals decrease in duration.
+I feel good enough for an extra one-minute burst at the end before taking a meandering cool down run all the way to the
+bakery to get some bread for the day.
+
+## Sunday
+
+Unexpectedly plans come together for a weekend run. I didn't schedule one in as it's recovery week but happily get some
+time and head out for two hours to Burley moor. It's warm with a good breeze and the journey out along the other side of 
+Otley's old railway line is nice and easy. I've done this route once before when I headed to Rombalds moor but decide 
+after crossing Moor road onto the start of Burley moor to take a different footpath that follows the road rather than
+run up towards Occupation lane. Running along this stretch gives you a great view out over the Wharfe and is enjoyably
+varied terrain with constant small climbs. I'm feeling really great and give out some high-fives to fellow runners along 
+the trail. I eventually take the path up onto the moor past Lanshaw dam and fly all the way down the trail. I find
+the technical-ish descent much more enjoyable than last time and careen back down onto the footpath to the railway line.
