Running in time of COVID part 5 and 6

30 miles this week and the week before.

This week consisted of 4 runs - 7 miles hilly around Charleville. Very sluggish. I ran that on Tuesday. On Wednesday I ran 6 miles at a faster pace but still sluggish. The better run was Thursday's 6 mile run with the last 3 miles at 8 minute pace. Long run Saturday 11 miles at 8.16 pace as fast as last Saturdays marathon pace run of 8 miles so one of those runs was either too fast or not fast enough. That meant 30 miles for the week. Wiped out now on Sunday.

The week before consisted of 30 miles over 5 runs. 5 miles Monday, 6 miles Tuesday with 3 mile tempo insert at 7.23 average pace, faster than the previous tempo pace of 7.38. No run Wedneday with 6 miles on Thursday and Friday. All generally good pace runs 8.20 and 8 minutes. Saturday was a MP run of 8 miles at 8.16. That required more effort than I expected.

Happy enough though even it's only May I think we can forget any marathons in Ireland happening even later in the year maybe next not year either.
