okay, previous week took it out of me.
20 mile training run at almost marathon pace... plus 30 miles of other running. - result I'm pretty tired.A few aches and pains, just below knee sore (tibia?), hamstrings and calfs sore.. and hip still sore.
Last few days leave to take around the August bank holiday so some R&R planned, in my own style of course.
Tuesday Day 1
Horse riding 2 hrs - walked there, rather than ran to save legs.
Gym Class body conditioning 45 minutes + jog
Wednesday Day 2
Swimming 1hr/ Sports Massage later on (ouch!)
Running 5 miles through country park/ Gym Class 1hr core/ weights
Thursday Day 3 Football
Friday Day 4 Run - cut short 12-14 miles planned at 2 miles in... pain in my left quad.. stopped and did stretches and able to carry on and do 8 miles slowly.
Sunday Day 5 Medium length run 9 miles with some hills, plus boxing circuit class 1hr.
Definitely some issues building up so took this week lighter after previous week of 55 miles. Only managed 23-25 and some sore muscles. Gill worked on my quads (thighs), hamstrings and calves so trying to give these some rest.
Originally I planned to do a half marathon in September and maybe other races, but knocked these on the head.. road running is hard on knees and hips so leaving this mostly to just the Liverpool marathon in October.
