23 weeks to go. Training summary

Training summary, Sunday 17th - Saturday 23rd October 2010

Training this week has been tough, both in milage, being my highest in a week this year and the weather!
I started the week with the Abingdon marathon in just under a PB time 3:14.17, and have tried to keep the momentum going.

Sun 26.2 miles RACE (plus about 3 miles early in the morning to warm up!! it was a very cold day!!)
Mon - 0
Tues - 5 miles effort with SH. Norris road (5:30 mile pace for 1.3 miles easy rest of run)
Weds - 11 miles ran to work and back, easy pace.
Thurs - 0 rest
Fri - 0
Sat - 6 mile with 5 power station hill reps.

Total for the week - 51 miles (highest yet!)
Total cycling for the week - 30 miles (low!)

The cold weather is really making things hard, I can feel it dragging on my legs, seeping into my bones.. thank goodness for hot showers! Which will also be available at work from next week! so the plan is to run to work 3 times a week, cycle twice, and get another 20 - 30 miles in outside of this.
anticipated mileage for this week 60.

Started running with my pack on too... at least to work and back. weight currently is only 2 - 5 kg. will leave it at that for a few weeks and get used to it.

Overall ver ygood week, slight tightness to my left hamstring, from the marathon, but overall very pleased coming off the back of a quick time on sunday. still think i'm weak from the 24 hr bike ride on the 1st/2nd Oct... still its heading in the right direction.

I will start to post these each week,

Carl.
