I can see the logic of eating and going back to sleep pre-sesh, SG. Bit of a toss up between having some fuel on board vs just getting the extra sleep. A solid session anyway. Which 5ks do you have lined up? Highly recommend the Bristol Track Club/Odd Down summer series.
I’m clutching at straws, Reg! Looked a good longer ride for you yesterday.
TT - one or two felt it was disrespectful to those racing him in the 5k, but I certainly haven’t got a problem with it. I’ve enjoyed learning about some of Cannova’s principles. Although his biggest sessions look scary!
Taper time here. Taking a slightly heavier reduction than in previous blocks. Training has gone well and managed pretty much the full 16 weeks.
Tuesday was the final big block of MP. A mile warm up at 7:54 pace then 10M at 6:38s. I still think the watch is adding something here, especially as the wind was filthy on one side of the racecourse. Probably good training for Boston with the coastal winds highly likely. 0.8M of a warm down and felt good with a 6:58. Solid session.
Weights on Wednesday and recovery running for the remainder of the working week. Absolutely knackered!
Family ill and the beginning of a cold for me. Dreadful sleep on Friday, but still got out for the now usual final long run/parkrun at 90%. 11M at 7:07 average with parkrun at 19:15. Eased into it but good to see a 5:59 and 6:01 come up. 52M for the week.
Enjoying the elite coverage at London. There is lady in the lead Brit pack, Alice Wright, I used to teach. Great to see her doing so well. Hope you’re enjoying yourself, SC.
