So after yesterday's efforts today is a rest day. Brass Monkey is this week and I have done all I can. Coach has reminded me that this is a training run for Reading!!
My week will be as follows:
Today: 20min walk at lunch time... brisk walking to shake the legs out
Tues: 40 - 50 mins steady, pref with 1mile:1min @ HM pace... total 3miles (5min warm up)
Wed: rest
Thurs: 30min easy
Fri: rest
Sat: 20mins easy with 6 x 30secs strides (must be in morning)
Sun: race (nb warm up!!)
Today I have walked the 10mins from the garage (taken hubby's car for a service) to work which will be repeated tonight. I've walked round town at lunchtime and will be walking to/from Gnome's club tonight. That covers today nicely!!
Legs have been fine today with no aches but they did remind me of my run after all my brisk walking round town!
Sunday I will be running the 1st mile and then doing a 1min walk at the beginning of each mile thereafter. Running at approx 12mm pace. I'm looking forward to it now and even the weather looks OK!
Only problem today is that this afternoon my belly has been playing up. First it was a stitch like pain so I downed some colpermine before it turned into spasms and now it feels like it is looping the loop as if trying to digest something that isn't there! Still as long as I can run I'll be fine!! I'm eating so fuel isn't an issue and I expect it will be gone later. Just annoying while it is here! Maybe I'm eating too much fruit in my quest to eat at least 5 a day!! hehe
