FAIL!
So, I had to travel 2 days ago - on what was going to be my easy 30 days run.
Then yesterday i went to the gym and did my usual strength training (squats,bench,deadlift - setting new PR's) and then decided to do the 4x2k session. Mistake. Too tired. I gave up. I think in part because the night before i had not slept very well and had a few drinks. Add to that that i went to the gym at 3pm and had not eaten ANYTHING all day.
Suffice it to say, i was zonked. I did 2 and a half of the intervals and then gave up. the first 2 were good...8:56 a piece roughly - 4:28/km.
Soo...Taking today off, and going to go in tomorrow for just the 2k session. Going to eat properly prior, be well hydrated. Then i will resume from that point in the schedule.
And going forward, i'm not going to schedule any weight training around the quality sessions.
Sound reasonable?
