Hi TheEd,
i'm having a race on the 28th of november so i've started the cycle this week.
Day 1:
The groin issue seemed to be resolved so i played soccer on tuesday instead of making the 60 minute easy run. The idea was to play with reduced intensity throughout the match but.. i couldn't really control it and it ended up to be an intense game.
Day 2:
As expected, i felt the legs pretty heavy yesterday but still went for the relaxed 30 minute run with a pace around 6'30''.
Day 3:
Today i made the 2k sessions with the following results:
1: 8:46
2: 8:45
3: 8:50
4: 8:54
5: 8:57
I felt pretty comfortable at the first 2 but my legs felt very heavy in the final 3. Still consequences from the soccer match. I tried to make some quick stretches before the final run but i wasn't able to finish strong.
Do you think that when my fitness reaches better levels i will be able to incorporate the soccer matches in the program without them affecting these quality sessions?
Best regards
Rubens
