Yes, I'm a slacker, but what can you do?
Interesting seven days. Had a tough run in the middle of the day last Saturday then then out in the middle of a storm on the Sunday. What a contrast.
Missed a day this week (Tuesday) due to the 2nd storm - yes, I'm a wuss, but having been in the middle of Sunday's spectacle I wasn't going to push my luck - so did my intervals in a 12km ladder on Wednesday. 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1km, then back down. Recoveries were of equal distance. Pretty tough workout as it turned out, and I wasn't feeling in great shape at the beginning so doubly hard.
Got out yesterday for a 12km loop in the state forest and got caught by the weather again but it was a welcome intervention as I was getting bloody hot and I was pretty heavy legged again. This speed stuff is all very well but It's energy sapping. I'm definitely getting some benefit from it though. True to form the rain stopped just as I got to the car. 10km at lunch today and 25km on the trail lined up for tomorrow morning with nothing planned for Sunday as it's Rhys' birthday.
One last interval session next week before I relax and get some km's in leading up to Hares & Hounds. Sounds too easy.
