W2 Done
51 miles in the bag. A much needed rest day on Friday skewered the back to back 60s and foot not holding up skewered the dream target of 70.
70 a week seems absolutely insane at the minute lol
2 biggest weeks for some time. Pace at the start of the week was horrific and the Wednesday threshold was beyond horrible.
After a rest on Fri the Saturday steady was pretty decent 6.22/mm and felt comfortable. Sunday was a long(ish) easy 9 @ 7:22/mm nice and progressive. The foot wasn't 100% at the start but settled down, think the pavement on Sat run pushed it a bit.
Next week I will stick to the steady plan - drop the miles (actually it's still around 50) and lift the pace.
Now the weather is picking up this should be a little easier.
Monday is scheduled rest. I wouldn't normally take it after having Friday off but it does mean the foot has longer to heal (pardon the pun) and I can have a crack at the virtual relay 5k on fresher legs on Tuesday.
The rest of the week is pretty casual. I will try and extend one of the 10's to a very slow and easy 12 though.
Fitness is creeping up, I feel a lot stronger already. Next 2 weeks should be alright as it's less volume. I really feel the need for a rest day every week, just can't keep pace respectable without it. Every run an absolute death march by about 9 days.
Numbers today CTL 50, ATL 64, Form -12
Next 2 weeks in my head I imagine just hovering around there but feeling a little fresher and paces dropping down a bit.
HR has been a bit high last couple of runs so will keep an eye on.
Big thing is the foot, not sure how to tackle that. Fucking thing!
