Resting HR 53
Back to work this week. Don't feel like I have slept very well yet this week as you can see from the elevated Resting HR. Nutrition now on point with the Protein shakes balancing the macros well. I have energy but the body is feeling a little run down and now getting a few aches and pains.
Maybe too much mileage, definately need new runners now as the cushioning on the left heel has hardened off, I can feel it up my leg, thats where most of the aches are. Will ease off a bit and let the body recover today and tomorrow, just a little bit of strength training for upper body and some stretching and rollering.
I have a cross country race on Sunday so a day or two rest today/tomorrow and maybe a light effort on Friday depending how I am feeling. I was originally intending the 2km session on Friday to try and begin the cycle (offsetting day one today for yesterday's session), it may still be viable depending on next two days, we will wait and see. The intention was not a max effort on the cross country but maybe a tempo effort then some slow mileage later that day to make up long run distance on cycle day 5. Will have to take it day to day and see how quickly the aches dispurse!
On a side note there is now a training/race plan through to June/July. Looking at MK marathon on the 03rd May as the "big one" Still looking at the 01st March as a training distance run for the full 42km possibly. There is a few bits in between but won't start racing in earnest until March/April.
