A.M. Recovery run this morning, my legs felt sore and heavy after yesterday and my heart wasn't in the run. Usually after 5k I start to feel better but not today so I kept the run short and easy. I start a recovery week in the plan from tomorrow and I'm looking forward to recharging the batteries. I shall try and stick to the plan for the whole week which is reduced mileage and intensity. I'm usually guilty of doing more than planned when I start to feel good. A mistake earlier this year was too much mileage at the expense of quality, got to get the balance right. Total 10k in 52:48, 5:17/k, 8:30/mi. |
