Been trying to find an accessible running track in my local vicinity. Turns out, as I had suspected, there's no such thing. It's amazing really. There are only two running tracks in the whole of Brighton and Hove. One is at Withdean Stadium, which is where all the local athletics clubs meet, and also the temporary home of Brighton & Hove Albion football club, and the other is at a private school. Withdean, I think, may possibly be open to the public at certain times of the week. But it's a pain to get to. Two infrequent buses. The other option is Lewes, a local town a ten minute train ride away. There's a track attached to the leisure centre there, and it's open to the public on Sundays for a small fee. So I might head on down there next weekend. Got a few things I want to try out. But god... I can't believe there isn't just one in a park or something. It seems crazy.

Saturday:

20 x mins crosstrainer
5k run - started at 11.20 min pace, finished at 8:02 min pace (which nearly killed me)
plus ten minutes of short sprints
15 x mins powerplate

It's a shame the UK can't show more interest in sports arenas. The problem is they cost too much to run.Graham from www.logo-n-stitch.co.uk
