This was always going to be a disrupted week as I had a 4 day seminar on the Gold Coast which meant 4 early starts and late finishes, playing havoc with my time to train. Luckily it was a recoery week with less training, and I simply managed to do what I could. I am very happy that I still managed to train everyday, albeit small amounts when my body and mind were longing for sleep!
Monday was a hill session of 10km around Ashgrove. I am not used to hills and certainly felt it in my right calf and knee for a few days. Tuesday was a flat run of 15km by which stage my body was starting to feel quite niggly.
With a total trainer session on wednesday, it gave me enough recovery to have a pretty good run at 4am on thursday. I had to be finished up by 6.30am as I had to travel to the Gold Coast by 7am.
Friday, saturday and sunday were 3 days off running. I was glad to have a break and with the 60-75 mins I got on those mornings I did some upper body strengthening and a small amount of the crosstrainer and cycle.
Next week it’s back up to 80km and and pushing hard again…
