First week of June. When the lockdown started in March I had resolved to use running to get me through the days, weeks and months ahead. This proved to be very successful as I really enjoyed getting up in the morning and getting my running in on the morning.I had plans to get up to a level of 30 miles a week but no more than 34 miles in any one week. I also sprinkled this in with a little bit of speed work, a few marathon pace runs and nice solid 10 mile long runs. On the whole this proved quite successful and even though I was beginning to feel a bit stale in the last week in the two I felt very positive about running. In all this period lasted a 11 weeks. Considering I had no race targeted and I was running the same routes I did pretty well.
Now in the first week of June I am asking myself what to do next. I took it very easy this week - 21 miles, 4 runs (4 miles Monday, 5 miles Tuesday, 6 miles Thursday and 6 miles Friday). No running over the weekend. I had ideas of training for a virtual marathon in September but might just focus on perhaps upping the mileage from 30 miles to 40 miles, maybe up the long run up to 2 hours.
