Hi TheEd,
Back home last night.
Finished training course on Friday at lunch. Went back to hotel, not feeling idea of speedwork and wanted to go for a surf so decided to go on a 5-6K easy as a warm-up to go surfing.
5-6K ended up being 8-9K (might even been 10K, watch not working). Got a bit diverted due to lack of knowledge of area. Anyhow felt pretty dried out and fatigued but felt better for burning off some cals.
Hit the surf and it was rubbish - wind too strong, waves messy, undercurrents silly. Spent an hour paddling into white water and then gave up, good shoulder workout! Although I prob shouldn't have gone in I felt like I had let go of the week...got back to hotel and felt suitably and relaxingly knackered. Spent rest of evening laid out on bed and asleep by 10:30!
Today not feeling idea of run, might get out on bike as weather is astounding and need to get legs going as need to bike to work all week.
Would like to go to run club tomorrow eve. What sort of plans do you feel I should make this week? Easy pace 4-5milers? Or some light speed work?
Btw I have a 10k booked for next Sunday, in this condition if I go its going to be a leisurely paced affair which is fine by me, taking part and admiring the scenery will be high on the agenda!
Cheers,
D
