Week 1
First week of the P&D 70-85 mile 18 week plan done! I know I'm a week behind so I will drop one somewhere along the line, just see how it goes.
Scores on the doors -
Monday - 6.2 miles @ 7.25/mm
Tuesday - 9.27 miles @ 6:53 (4 miles @ 6:28 LT)
Wednesday - 12 miles @ 6:54
Thursday - 4 miles recovery
Friday - 10.06 miles @ 7:19
Saturday - REST
Sunday - 17.05 miles @ 7:11
58.58 miles @ 7:08/mm
Most efficient run was Tuesdays LT run. Pretty pleased with this week, back up to the longer distances and only running 6 times for the week with plenty of recovery. Lacking strength and tired as the week went on. Next week is a decent mileage hike so need to hit it hard. Dropped a 6 recovery Saturday to make the long run better and dropped Thursdays recovery 6 to 4 as I was battered.
2 new pairs of trainers to kick the campaign off and a lot more stretching / conditioning than usual.
Pace wise I am really happy with this. Usually takes a couple of months to get this quick average. Hopefully see LT drop to 6:15ish and General drop to 6:45's fairly soon. Averaging just under 7's on the flat but once hills / wind come into play pace drops off quite a bit.
Nice start, just need to keep working now and pray for a following wind :)
