This weeks training was a tough week. It included 28 miles and 2800ft of elevation, 2 strength sessions (one with physio) and 5 mile on my bike (to test whether it aggravated my Osteitis Pubis).
I managed a 49 min 10k on Monday. It was a suprise, as i was just running on feel. I can only put it down to the power from my strength sessions and my paying attention to my form.
Tuesday was a 25 min recovery run (i love recovery runs). Wednesday was a hill stride session, Thursday 52 minutes endurance paced off road and Friday was a beautiful rest day.
Saturday was a trip to the physio, who was happy with my progress and gave the greenlight for increased intensity in my running.
Today was a return to the route i ran two weeks ago and an extra mile. The three hills were tougher than the last time and involved some extra walking. However i had more strength and speed for the final 2 miles downhill.
A wrong choice of shoe didnt help, as it was to early in the year for the Altra Timps. However, you live and learn.
Michael wants 2 run further
