this week I 'ran' about 50 kms in 3 runs. inverted commas because one run was along a trail which involved walking up hills.
I am fairly happy with the effort because it is an increase in next best distance by about 10%.
The effort required this week was considerably more than 10%, because of the hill work involved, and the subsequent pain endured through the following run, because my legs hadn't recovered enough.
the 3rd run of the week was an easy and reasonable 15.9 kms, with minimal pain.
I have taken to cold baths and raising the legs after my runs, in an effort to facilitate recovery.
I lost a toe-nail during the week. At this stage it doesn't seem to make much difference.
Interesting how the 3rd run of the week seems to be the end of the week for me - like friday afternoon when I was working.
I am slightly inspired about next week's runs, where I think I should run about 55kms, maybe a 25, a 15, and a 10. The longest run is at a jogging pace without any consideration for speed. 55 kms is about 10 hours of running, quite a lot of time really. I wouldn't be able to do this if I was still working.
Time for another dip in the bath!
cheers dears!
