Hey TheEd,
How are you?
Back home here after a week away at music festival. Managed to get two sessions in last week, not an amazing amount, however did lots of walking as well.
Wed: 27 mile bike ride in 1:40:00
THurs: 6km Easy in 32:00 - calves v.tight after for following 2-3 days. Had to work 24 hours over weekend with some 4:00 am starts!
During the music festival from Fri to the Sun, must have walked at least 10-12 miles as well around festival site - its was 1100 acres!!!
Both cycle and run last week were hilly and not bad considering the travelling tiredness and v.hot weather.
Back to work today - managed a 8.5km Easy'ish effort round Woods Loop. Felt floaty and strong - calves tight at end, have stretched well.
100km marathon bike ride on Sunday. Biking to work tomorrow, gym at lunch - were thinking of doing 4 miles Easy on Friday - strictly easy as well as today was pushing it a little.
Have 10km race lined-up for next Friday (a week the day after tomorrow). All things considered enjoyed the break last week even though it was a working break!!! Feeling refreshed and renewed, just concious of getting quality relax time and recovery before pushing back on with the quality running sessions.
If you have any other suggestions for Friday's run please let me know - whould it be worth doing a harder tempo run instead of going easy over 4 miles in prep for the following Fridays race?
Cheers,
D
