Into Feb 23 and the increased intensity continues, with the second track session of my return to the 400m fast stuff. Te session on Wednesday was 20 x 200m with 200m jog RI.
Just the type of session I need to bring the run form into the space I need - well that’s the theory. The risk with this session is always going to be the unfamiliar fast speed that actually doesn’t feel too fast over the short distance. I eased back but as I write this 4 days after the session I’m thinking I should have backed off more.
I was happy with the session but I must have over-cooked it. I wanted to get my higher intensity turbo set in too. This was completed on the Friday with sore legs. It was a bit of a struggle - harder than it should have and served to add more fatigue that I still feel now. With the Congleton 10k a week away I just need to have an easy week with strides really.
I’m conscious that I need to maintain the conditioning that I’ve built up over the last 6 months. So I’ll squeeze a reduced intensity weights set tomorrow. I’m away with work Wed and Thursday so I need to accept this easy week and focus on not being weary from travelling.
Game on. . .
