Did 3 miles
recovery in the town park in Charleville. Did a mixture of slow walking and
jogging and was conscious of the need not to speed it up and to run it as a true
recovery run. Took around 30 minutes. 6
and half laps around a park isn’t exactly exciting stuff. Tuesday , 17th
April. Had planned to do 6 miles with 5 X ½ mile repeats but the legs were like
rocks all day and was practically nodding off at times in work. I thought my
humour would improve once I got home but if anything i was less inclined to go
out. Any in my schedule I designated this week as a cut back week (25 miles)
and since I have signed for a 4 mile race on Thursday in Ballintotis I have decided
to use that as my speed session. On the way home from work I called into
Doneraile park and ran two laps of the park (6.2 miles in total). I do like
running there but it ain’t a fast route and the half mile uphill is a real
killer. At times my pace dropped to 10 mins a mile crawling up the hill. After
the run (done at 8.20 pace) I did a 2 minute recovery and ran 6 sprints (0.1
mile) with 20 second recoveries. Enjoyed the session and I was happy to see the
heavy legs and heavy mind lift. Came home to see my wife go out for her Wednesday
exercise fix. Anyway to-morrow I have a 4 mile race in Ballintotis to enjoy.
Will run this a tempo run and see how it goes. Back to watching Game of Thrones
boxset tonight. Can you believe what happens in episode 8 series 1!!!!!
