This mornings long run was a struggle, so much so, that I cut it short and only did 10 miles. Although I have a bit of a cold hanging around I think the real reason for not going so well today is more down to tiredness from quite a tough week.
Monday I did 5 miles with a series of 30 sec bursts with 30 jog recovery. Tuesday was a 5 min, 4min, 3 min, 2min, 1 min, speed session, all on 1 min jog recovery. Thursday was a 35 min tempo run over which I covered about a further 100m than on the same run the week before and yesterday the session was 7 x 2 min with 1 min jog recovery. Wednesday was a steady run and Friday a rest day.
Next week I aim to change the emphasis slightly only doing one speed session - probably Tuesday, with steady runs the rest of the week and a 5km time trial on Saturday (possibly using one of the Park Runs). Then a longer run Sunday.
