TheEd,
Def rest day - had a few sherberts (drinks) last night, and a bit of a late night so although not hungover this morn, head and belly is feeling a little full as ate well after race also :laugh:
Thanks for the positive comments - it was a solid run with plenty of signs for improvement, so encouraging times ahead.
Wanted to take the opportunity to mention next 10Km booked:
Sunday May 2nd (just under 4 weeks time)
Need to plan for this as during the last week on build up, will be on surf holiday in Canary Islands. Planning to do some running in mornings out there, however with 5-days solid surf they might end up being short recoveries runs from the day before. Each surf day will last approx 4-5 hours solid surf tuition.
Did this holiday last year managed a good 10km interval session early on in week, as there a real long flat road, then the two others later in the week which were short and slow. Maybe I could consider something similar but more suited to a wind down for the race on the day after returning. Were thinking could try and treat the surfing in isolation as an overhead of energy expended if that makes sense?
Do you think I can devise a workable training plan so that I can give the above my best shot? Realise there will be an impact on performance from being away during the last week with the travelling and all and I can't expect an outstanding result, however I'm interested to use this week as a platform for focussing further on the running as from now and after the holiday the surfing opportunities are going to decrease as the swell is dying down now till Autumn.
The 10K course is v.similiar to yesterdays, with 4km climb, 2Km flat and 4 downhill, however its all road. Its in a neigbouring village, along the same valley.
Apologies for the lengthy response, I'm sure we can organise some sort of plan over the coming weeks.
Thanks for your support TheEd as always, look forward to hearing from you,
Cheers,
D
