Hey TheEd,
Thanks for the comments - bit strange to be reminded as being competetive! If true its only with myself (or more like a slave to the clock!)...maybe thats the challenge, you can never beat yourself or the clock...or can you :mmm:? I need to be less expectant of my abilities...
Hear you more and more on the development aspect - realising that I am getting away with limited quality sessions and nearly reaching PB's. Time to re-approach things and in the process get the calf situ under control and better managed as picks things back up.
I'm more clearer in my head about building blocks working towards 'peak performances'. Deep down and in reality my main motivation was to peak towards end of November this year - there's a big 10km in Leeds city and its supposed to be very flat and very fast. I was due to do it last year but was ill.
With this in mind I have been considering most of what I do and races entered as training runs. I imagine from now its just business as usual with more emphasis on me accepting the building blocks to lead to stronger race efforts...
Quick Update...
Sun: 15km MTBike v.easy pace sub 100bpm HRate, then 4 mile Waddle, HRate 120-125, calves tight, but relaxed after.
Mon: Lunch: Gym, stretch, Core session with upper/lower body weights. PM: Swim 2Km various reps, 50m, 75m's. Was tough session but needed to get back to Swim club to show face!
Tues: REST!!! Stretch at lunch...resting
Wed: Waddle or Easy 4 miler...? Calf stretching no doubt...:whistle:
Catchup soon,
D
