The week started off with the cold that I still had over the weekend. I
wasn’t looking forward to my last long run of 12 miles and when it came to
Sunday I was looking for any excuse to not go out, even though I put a message up on Facebook to say I was
going I then got a message from my coach via my inbox telling me to for my run
.
Monday Harriers
I didn’t go to the running club as Ken was busy and I was still full of
cold so I had a nice rest for a change and sat watched TV
Tuesday 5x10 min with 2min rest
I went out on Tuesday night after work just on the footpath around
where I live which was very hard. which was to do 5x10min with a 2 min walk
which was my rest I did manage to cover a mile in an avg pace of 9.41min/miles
to say that I was still feeling tired from my cold, cough and sore throat from
the weekend
Wednesday club with Rob
I went to the athletics club at Thirsk on a very cold night, we did the
warm up as usual with some back flips and some strides. We then got into the
session, we did 4x4 min with 2min rest we started near the tennis court and had
to run around the course Rob had set out for us. We then had to see if we could
get back to the finish before the 4 min was up, I did try but I was tired and
could have gone to sleep instead we then had the committee meeting afterwards
Thursday Rest
The marathon training plan said have a rest so that’s what I did I went
up to the allotment instead, I did a bit of digging and putting some plants in
Friday 45min jog
I was still feeling tired I don’t know if that is from work or the bug
I had, I only managed a 20 min jog on the footpath around Northallerton could
have gone to bed instead
Saturday 5 miles target time
52min
I don’t know why I found training hard this week but I only managed 4
miles run on Saturday in 42 min just on the footpath around Northallerton I must
have still been tired from this bug at least I completed the training session
Sunday 12 miles Target time 2
hrs 12 min
After my telling off from my coach on Sunday afternoon I got out for my
run. I started off by doing the first 6 miles of the run around the town centre
on the footpath and around Castle Hill and then for a run around by the train
station. I then called in at home for a drink of water and set out on the last
6 miles which was very hard just up around where I normally go and do my 3-4
miles for some reason my legs were really suffering on today running. My legs
were stiff on Monday glad I was working. I don’t know what I am going to be
like on race day in a weeks time and how well I am going to do I am hoping to
do it in 5 hrs this year.
