Another week ticked off. And another interrupted week due to work. I bagged a reduced strength session on the Tuesday and a longish 13k run early Wednesday morning after sleeping in the van in Bristol. I was tired but this run was actually ok. I completed a comprehensive warm up and activation drills before starting the run proper. Bit sis this make a difference. I felt much more fluid. I also mixed the run up as 1k easy, 2k steady by feel. Assuming g structure helped too so there’s a couple of lessons to take away!
On Friday after an easy day Thursday (but another work trip) I wanted to wake the legs up and did 8 x 400 ish on the park paths. Didn’t feel great really and was only marginally faster than the 6 x 800 pace I achieved last week. But lack of sleep and not drinking enough had a part to play. I wanted a bike session straight after the 400s but work got in the way again 🤨. So did a hard bike today (Saturday) as a Zwift race. The legs were fatigued but I pushed through. So that’s it now: some easy days before the Clayton 10k. I want to be fresh for this and 4 sleeps should do it - let’s hope they are good quality sleeps.
I have some new Nike shorts and vest to run in on Wednesday. So I’ll look smart . . Even if I end up slow.
