Managed my 5.4 miles yesterday despite grim winds. Did a 2.8 mile cycle ride this morning - lots of hills. Main exercise today will be clearing up puppy wee!
what: something q easy why: day between long run (yesterday) & anticipated hard session with other runners (tomorrow). Would have had day off had it not been for some v easy days at back end of last week as part of taper for cancelled 5K
last hard day: Sun (well I was on my feet for longer than in quite a while) last rest day: Sat
What: 6 miles steady. In -8 degrees. Sunny and Fab. Why: My half marathon programme told me to. Last hard: Last Sunday (whoops) Last rest: Friday (but on feet all day doing corporate training then had to fly home so it didn´t feel like a rest day!)
What: Club speed endurance session, hurrah, 5 * 3 min intervals, 2 min recoveries. Why: 'if it's hurting it must be working' - right?Found my legs turning into spaghetti during the second half of every lap. Last hard: tonight. Last rest: Fri, another rest day tomorrow definitely.
Trotted round for just under 4 miles at about 6:50 per mile pace. Legs felt like they were moving quite quickly - but they weren't! - slightly alarming.
what i'd give to run 6m50 miles Mike. Don't knock it. I bust a gut earlier to run 8m05s over 4.5 miles. Still, i did it 2 and a half mins quicker than last week so can't complain eh?
Interval training on treadmill tomorrow. Can't wait!!
Godzilla - I'm trying a seasonal approach, given up golf until the Spring now. Reason? Golf recovers quickly after a long lay-off, but I think the running would be hard work after a few months off!
