This week, I have to give myself a score of 9.5/10. If you check out week 5 training plan you will see that I wanted short runs during the week and a longer run at weekend. But as usual things didnt quite go to plan
Monday: 5 miles
Tuesday: running club
Thursday: 3/4 miles
Weekend: 5 Miles.
Let’s looks at what I actually managed.
Monday:
So I wanted to do 5 miles and thats what I did. I basically ran to a friends house to drop off his bank card he had dropped at football the day before.
Tuesday:
This was a good sessions –
Nice mile to the start area, then loops of a car park (they let us use it for free and its closed – so its a pretty great place to run) and it was a 5,4,3,2,1 session with 2 minutes recovery and then about .7 miles run back.
All in all was a good run. Some of the intervals was pretty fast and I was very happy with my running.
Managed a nice 4.47miles in total.
Thursday
This was a bit of a disappointment, wanted to do 4 but legs were heavy and just didn’t feel right so stopped at 3.48 miles.
No point pushing myself at this stage.
Weekend:
I wanted to run 5 miles at some point.
We had an away game on the Saturday so decided I would run there, it was about 5.5 miles there.
At nearly 3 miles I got a message to say game had been cancelled due to a frozen pitch – but as I was there and game was near my parents I decided to run to their house.
Also at three miles a car had broken down so got in a bit more exercise pushing the car onto the kerb as its a very busy road.
The car was an automatic and couldn’t get into gear so in the end took 4 blokes to push it.
Sunday: Was start of Red December so after having a nice dinner at my parents I ran home so was another 5.5 miles. Legs did feel heavy but overall did enjoy it.
With doing both Red December and Apple setting me a target to burn 53,900 calories I will be doing some distance this month.
Total week milage: 24.23
The reason for the 9.5/10 – was because of Thursday not hitting the distance.
