Last weeks training went well, felt more tired than usual though. My total mileage for last week was 45miles. Tues nights training was the hardest out of the lot, infact it left me feeling sore till friday. I never want to repeat that again, but i know it pops up again somewhere in my training schedule, this time 12 of them!!
Went out wed with Scott, managed my 8 miles but very slow, thursday i was still feeling it after tues and by fri my legs felt more normal. Saturdays run was a weird and wonderful one. Went with Elaine & Stuart, started at aqua, by the time we got to Stewarton the snow/hail had started until killellan. Couldnt go too fast as it was slippy, everyone must have thought we were mad, even the police thought we were idiots
When the snow stopped i managed to pick up my pace, carried on 8miles towards southend from town so this took me to Keprigan, i then turned back on my lonesome. Got back into town and managed my 16miles, felt alot better this week on my long run though my legs still felt as though they were going to fall off. Im now loaded with the cold though, so im glad this week is my easy week!
