TheEd,
Glad to hear you had a waddle over there.
Had a bit of a rough weekend here - wrestling with thy soul and all that. Recent break-up coming back to haunt. Anyhow, onwards and upwards.
Ran the race today. Not well rested or recovered this weekend, overate a little and two late nights - why?! Don't know feel like am a bit stuck in rut at moment, trying/looking to find release the recovery process.
Helped with setting up race, all good. Went out medium pace and just pushed myself here and there to get round. Was nice to just take part and get round. Put head down last 1.5km and came in at 43:29. This is an amazing time considering how lacking the quality training has been, just proves progress doesn't it! Thanks coach.
However know there is more locked away. Got to get at it! Am finding that as I am finding life easier from making progress, it releases energy, but then I lose the ability to stabilise and rest...so annoying.
Need to buckle down for the Big Race in three weeks, 10km in Leeds City. Aim is to reach peak condition for this year, no excuses - its flat and v.fast. Need to redeem myself. Know it is not the best prep time, just have to start and finish this next 19-dayer with no issues. Was doing really well about a month ago before went away on work. I know more than ever that for me I have to master REST & RECOVERY. Its that simple.
Needs to lose 1-2kg if can, so going to work on diet this week to try and feel how felt before went away. Need to get the early nights regimented and get on top of work. However going to try and do this light heartedly and not overdo it!
OK coach, out on Tuesday 40 mins Easy...will see how feel after this and update. Enjoy your stay in Finland,
Rgds,
