TheEd,
Pulled out of today's 10Km race - had slightly later night and when woke up were not up for it, also it was too far to drive. Decided to a long run near home this afternoon instead:
1:35:40/9.1 miles/122 Avg HR/10:26 pace
Were waddling along nicely (with a little walking) until about 6 miles then it was slow and tough, had to waddle/walk home. Were prob a bit too tired. At least I got out as the weather has been dismal.
Swim tomorrow. Waddle Tues lunch. Might do a light/med MTB Tue eve. Rest Wed.
Have a 10Km race booked for Fri July 8th. Know that's not far away, but felt need to get focussed. This being the case, I should start first 19-day cycle for it next Sunday. However the following Fri, Sat, Sun am at a music festival working some potentially unsociable hours - might struggle to get the 90 mins easy in on the Fri, also the 30 mins easy on Sat and Sun. Am going to follow the sub-45 min schedule btw. Also, were thinking about doing a bike instead of the 90mins run, may be 30+ miles instead?
Am going to start the cycle early to give me a bit of slack to make I get all the sessions in with adequate rest - good idea? So instead of doing over 19 days will do it over 22. At least I can make sure I get the 90 mins in and try and pick the 30 mins easy's up where I can without getting too tired whilst being away.
Will take a look at my schedule. Looking at my whole approach to this with more flexibility - trial and error I suppose!
