Tue 23 Aug, morning & evening sessions

13km today so far, 22km for the week, 80kg

Up & out the door at 5.10am (OMG) for an easy 5k, I have been enjoying the occassional double up day and an easy 4-5k hasn't proved to be a problem. The time well thats not too bad, but I would prefer to be able to do it later, but I have other commitments. Started raining about 2k into the morning trot & was a little cool, wore beanie, LS dri fit & tights.

Evening session

An ordinary session, just never got into it. Did 6 laps to warm up anti-clockwise and then a few strides. Plan 6-8x1000 (90 sec per 400) with 90ish sec to recover (floating).

Splits (recovery)
3:40 (1:31)
3:49 (1.34)
3:48 (1.33)
1:31 for 400 & withdrew

Just never felt comfortable, tired ???, just didn't feel right from the first one and without a partner I took the easy option. Finished off with 5 lap cool down and went home.

Stu,
Your body is telling you it needs a REST...not just a day off or a "light week".
Take a 10 day break and you will be chomping at the bit!
This is of course preferable to a possible injury break that only frustrates.
