There almost always comes a time in a marathon/ultra training plan when your mind and body shout 'enough' and you are left wearily grinding out the miles as best as you can. So it happened this week...
This week's training summary is as follows: Walk Miles Run Miles Monday: 3.5 Rest Tuesday: 1.2 9.1 Wednesday: 1.2 4.4 Thursday : 1.2 2.1 Friday : 1.4 4.1 Saturday : 1.2 10 Sunday : --- 20 So my total run miles for the week were 49.7, plus 9.7 miles walking making a total of 59.4 structured exercise miles. My Fitbit has totalled my structured exercise plus my other daily activity to just under 182,000 steps, or 88.46 miles. Certainly, this wasn't that many miles more than last week, but the cumulative effect was to grind me down to the point where Sunday's run was really tough. Thank heavens I had company for the whole 20 miles... I certainly wouldn't have got through it without. Thankfully, the next two weeks are 'taper' weeks, so I will be reducing my mileages in order to rest and recover in time for the start of the 7 in 7 on Monday 15th February... still plenty of running to be had, but considerably less than of recent times!
