Today's plan is a 40mins solid run at lunchtime. Tomorrow's speedwork will be on the tready at home, next week is hols and then the week after I have to collect Gnome from school so will be leaving early. This means this is the last lunchtime session for a while.
Run Update
Well I spent the most of the morning eating wine gums so I guessed I should be well fuelled! I had been looking forward to this run since yesterday afternoon (no idea why!) and was "up for it!". I guessed that 40mins would be about 3.5-3.75m and decided on a combination of the two canal routes.
Anyway off I went and it wasn't feeling as good as I hoped.HR wasn't bad but I felt I was labouring (as such) and just dragging myself arround. Stopped for a quick stretch at 1m and carried on ... not much to say realy as it was a boring run really. Things did improve in the last mile and overall it was a better pace than yesterday but it still didn't feel right if that makes sense.
Tomorrow I am supposed to be doing speedwork at home after work. I will see how I feel, I may have tomorrow as a rest day (start the packing!) and run on Thursday (but what about washing kit?) we'll see. Anyway here's the required table!

Nice new colours.
As for speedwork... hmmphf. I'm not doing anything at all at the moment so it's not like I can comment with any authority but I hate speedwork anyway. I keep telling people, I'm built for distance me, not speed.
Think the cross-training thing works though. Remember all that cycling I was doing during the summer..? Think that's what helped with my 10K PB really.
