But last week was a 10 miler week!
Exactly that. Very low mileage.
If I didn't make myself ride in on Thursday 40 mins on the bike return, that's all I got up to.
What? No quick break...15 minute power jog? What happened?
.........I'm a dull girl.
Having said that and to through the week and into a sunny weekend, involving a full Saturday of walking from bond street to Camden town via primrose hill...
, yesterday's run was great along the canals. Very slow start...consistent 10:13 splits for 2nd and 3rd mile...then the typical slow down and the turn around point...popping a gel...
until the 2nd half ..I picked up speed...mile 9 at 9:56...with a shock almost trip over....lucky a few quick steps stopped me from going anywhere..
Average 10:39. Last week's attempt with a bit of exploration , was 11:16 min mile over the same distance. I wouldn't risk any longer.
A hot day...it didn't feel easy. My legs are still aching today even when climbing stairs. And always...even with generous Vaseline application..my blister returned :(
Well this week will be different. 2 races in the space of few days..that's my training done. and nights prepping and being in a gig! Many opportunities to be out of breath..
Better get some sleep.
