Week 10 - After recovery, big miles

Ready to refocus on Comrades after the Half Marathon. Racing can be a distraction from the main goal, but it's fun, and gives me a sense of where I'm at.


Monday 1st March: Easy recovery run down to Parkside and back along the West Toronto Railpath. 8.2km

Tuesday 2nd March: Morningside Hill circuit x 2. Legs felt good on the hills. 17.9km

Wednesday 3rd March:  AM Easy run legs feeling good. 6.2km
PM: Longboat Club run along waterfront. 321 workout. 3km at half marathon pace plus 3 minutes easy, 2km at 10k pace plus 2 min easy 1km at 5k race pace. Tough workout. 19.1km

Thursday 4th March: An easy run that ended up longer than planned (by about 4km). Pace was slow, but legs felt pretty good. 21. 4km

Friday 5th March: Easy run with 3x hill repeats on Spring hill. Kept the workout easy because of long run tomorrow. 16.4km

Saturday 6th March: Long run done today before Convention tomorrow. Ran about an hour alone before linking up with Longboat at High Park and ran the regular route. Ran back along Lakeshore with Rob Hanks. Legs felt heavy towards the end. Glad to be finished. 33.3km

Sunday 7th March: Short easy run squeezed between a late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. 4.9km


Week Total: 127.4km
YTD Total: 962.4km


My highest mileage week since starting running. It felt good and not too tiring. Lots of work and less time for running next week, so it won't be sustainable.
