I tried a new elements to my running this week. Monday I started redoing the core work. I am very lucky to have a gym in the basement of the house. It's terribly underused by mine but Aoiffe makes good use of it. Anyway down I went on Monday morning creating a programme on chat GPT.
To be honest it was hard work and I gave my hamstring a bit of a tweak. I didn't make it any easier by running a too fast run on Tuesday. It should have been a recovery run but I ended up running 4.4 miles rather than a 3 mile slow effort. I paid for this on Wednesday as the back of the legs were very tight. I instead walked it out in the morning heading up to Cork to see how my students got in the Leaving Certificate. Thursday was a lot better running 55 mins (6.2 miles) around the hillier parts of the town. Iam trying to run everything by time.
Friday was a attempt at speedwork. I haven't attempted speedwork in around 3 years and it was very laboured. The workout was 10 minutes warm up, 5 mins with 2 mins recovery repeated 4 times, 10 mins cooldown. It was around 4.9 mins in total. The speed session was at 8.30 mile pace. Not great I suppose but it's more about getting out and doing it. Hopefully I might see a improvement by October .
Monday Core, Tuesday 4.4 miles, Thursday 6.2 miles, Friday 4.9 miles
