Tues:
Surf conditions were superb so took afternoon off work and got in at 2pm. As a w/up b4 leaving work to go, easy/medium paced 4 miler with work colleagues. Also biked to work as well. Was a steady session in the water, lots of paddling, good for shoulders, got out at 5:15pm. Over 3 hours, but as I said it was steady. Big day for exercise.
Wed:
Not so steady all day. Kept head. V.busy at work as well...away with fairies for most of it after y/days efforts. Felt tired but strangely OK.
Thurs:
Not enough sleep last night led to feeling un-recovered this morn but in contention, quickly reminded me what state I was getting into late last year. Learning mind check. Bike to work - OK. Lunchtime run supposed to be an Easy 3.5 miler, but struggled to keep Hrate down and keep up with colleagues. Must be some fatigue kicking in.
Put two bursts in to catch up with them - made it more like a medium session. Felt a little stretched but in control and felt some benefit from opening up a bit, might be good for Sat's 4km time trial.
I have felt with the running last week or so that I 'm starting to get stuck in a rut, as if I need speed work, hence the 4km time trial I suppose.
Early night tonight.
Fri (tomorrow) - No run, hit gym for stretch and some upper body and core work.
Sat AM: 2Km w/up, 4Km time trial, 4Km easy w/down.
Away on work all next week. There's plenty of surf at destination, will get some short runs in here and there and may be a paced run in response to Sat's time trial and my general recovery from this little spell of near over-indulgence!
Apologies for large download...
Thanks for listening, or reading for that matter!
