Another week over 110km feeling the mileage again this week. I'm waiting for the feeling of running easy. I'm sure it will come - won't it?
Monday 8th February: Easy recovery run. Legs feeling good. 7.3km
Tuesday 9th February: Morningside Hill circuit x 2. Took it easy on the hills (it's supposed to be an easy day). Legs feeling pretty good. 15.1km
Wednesday 10th February: Longboat club run. Ran at Exhibition place this week because of an afternoon snow fall. Ran 7km at 3:50/km just under anaerobic threshold. About 4km warm up and cool down. 15.4km
Thursday 11th February: Very easy run to High Park and back along the Martin Goodman trail. 16.4km
Friday 12th February: Morning Hill circuit x 3. Uphill bounding. Very hard workout. Felt ok during the workout but very tired afterward. 16.1km
Evening Easy running with club runners. Legs very heavy. 5km
Saturday 13th February: Easy recovery run. Legs still heavy from yesterdays workout. 11.1km
Sunday 14th February: morning cross training cross country skiing 1.5 hours.
Afternoon: Long run. Slow run on snow packed trail down Don Valley trail out to Leslie Spit and back along Lakeshore. Definitely feeling accumulated mileage. 30.7km
Week Total: 117.5km
Year to Date Total: 663km
The week started off well, but I ended it in an exhausted state. Two heavy mileage weeks may be taking their toll. One more to go and then a very welcome recovery week that will hopefully allow me to assimilate the training to date.

I find that the feeling of easy running happens right after monkeys fly out of my butt.
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest, if you are this far along in your training with 15 weeks away from the race, I must tell you that 7:30 wont be a challenge. I am a step behind you but hoping to catch up very soon... What I am doing these days is almost comical compared to your workload. There are only so many hours in a day and at this point this is my biggest problem. hmmm.... No excuses though, time to go to work.. running that is.
