This week, I have to give myself a score of 8/10. If you check out week three of my training you can see the plan I had in place.
Tuesday: running club
Thursday: 3/4 miles
Weekend: 5 Miles.
Let’s looks at what I actually managed.
This was a good sessions – just over a mile run to some “hills” and then a kind of figure of 8 loop around the hills for 30 minutes and then run back.
My pace was very good, I was running with a club member and didn’t want to let her get ahead of me so kept close.
I accidentally4.94+1.33 stopped strava rather than pause while re regrouped to run back thats why its two images below.
Managed a nice 6.27 miles in total.
I decided driving home that the rain was too heavy to do a serious run so when I got home I just put on the running gear and did 2.02 miles.
The rain was heavy and it was freezing.
Not the distance I wanted but at least I got out.
I wanted to run 5 miles at some point.
After football training on Saturday and putting up the Christmas decorations (yes I am that type of person – but I have young kids and while its still magical I like to make the most of it), but I managed 5.67 and was happy, legs were heavy at the start but towards the end felt good.
Sunday Morning: I was heading to Anfield to watch Liverpool Ladies vs Everton Ladies and knew I couldn’t do a long run but still I snuck in a cheeky 1.03 run.
Total week milage: 14.99
The reason for the 8/10 – Thursday I didn’t hit the distance, but the rest of the week I was very happy with it.
Tuesday:
A speed session with the running club. This is another hill session. So it’s basically a square and we run the up and the down and one of the edges and on either the top or bottom we walk to recover before doing another lap.
Thursday:
Same as last week. A couple of miles – 3 or 4. While my oldest son is at beavers.
Weekend:
I plan on running 6 miles next weekend on the Saturday.
Nice steady pace. Just increase the distance slightly.
