Thanks, TheEd!
Recovery is going fine, I felt *very* tired yesterday, I didn't run yesterday, but I walked about 2k and I played squash, I took it easy though. My calves feel fine, some DOMS in the upperlegs, but nothing serious.
Today I'll go for a very easy 30 min run. A new 5*2k is planned beginning of next week. I feel I should up the pace a bit, although I'm not quite sure how fast I can do them: I really do notice a large gap between what i'm able to do during a training and during a race. Probably due to both the phase of the training program and state of mind.
I'd like to run 36-low on June 6. I have two 10k races before that (May 20 and 23), but I'll run an easy pace with friends on those (that seems the smart thing to do).
Apart from working through more training cycles, i feel that I should focus on the following aspects to improve:
*Core stability, probably through some ab work and different kinds of leg lifts.
*Breathing cadence: during part of the race I couldn't find a breathing cadence that felt right.
*and yes, definitely race tactics...:whistle:
What are your thoughts on the next training cycle?:mrburns:
