Back in the Groove

This cold and snow can really do one now !! Bloody hell this is horrible, hopefully another day or two fo sub zero temps but it's been a struggle to get much volume in this !

Really feeling like the illness is behind me now. Feel a little stronger and fitter but it's still not right. Main thing is mentally I'm on holiday so just trying to get stuff done and hope that the motivation returns.

Hernia was confirmed so have to look at ways of doing strength work without causing bigger problems there. 

This week bagged a couple of easier sessions. Plan to run every day to build miles up and get conditioning back and then hopefully next weekend all being well look to Parkrun just to get something in the bag as a yard stick for fitness.

Sessions this week followed existing theme but plan is to do them very controlled. 5 x 5 mins @ 10k -> 5k (16.8 kmph x 3 - 17 - 17.6) nice and relaxed off 2 mins on Tuesday. Thursday was 5 mins thresh (16.9) 8 x 60 / 30 (18.1) 5 mins thresh (16.9). Comfortable session that mentally I had zero interest in!

I'll add 0.1 to each every week, if I can control it that way I can build to a fairly fit place over the next 8 - 12 weeks.

Other runs are all easy but there's no fireworks or decent volume as the cold and snow / ice just make it too hard to stay out. Plan to finish this week off with a long run and hopefully something easy progressive like last Sunday.

Fitness isn't a huge issue right now, more concerned with the head space.

Weight OK tbf, but diet is not being monitored. Plan for now is just to keep chugging away without going deep in training.
