Tuesdays run and the rest of the week i've missed
Sorry i've been blogless,
Shit run on Sunday,I pulled out at 6.5(ish) because my leg was sore again.
I did however run on Monday 55min with Ben along the tin mines, and today we did the old Meanporth route (6ish) .Probably going to take a look at my training and try to re-focus on shorter stuff. Strange you may say, but I've been been chatting to my old coach and the general concensus is that I should work to my advantages. In this case above average speed and strength, he feels 800/1500 training for 6-9 months could take large quantities of time off my races over the longer stuff. Becides I do enjoy the faster stuff. He's done me a basic schedule:
Monday Easy run 40-45min
Tuesday Track session 800/1500
Wednesday Steady run 1hr
Thursday Track session (as tuesday)
Friday V.easy run 30-35min
Saturday Track session 3000/5000 or hills
Sunday Long run up to 1hr 30
Tuesday PM: 1 mile warm up 8x400m (2min recovery) 75,71,71,70,73,69,69,66 Strong wind in back strait. Its very strange being at CAC (Cornwall athletics club) again, feels kinda small!!!!!
feels like I could have run the same speed with half the recovery, but no faster with twice the recovery! Spoke to Dave Buzza tonight, he pulled out of London because he didn't want to struggle round in 2:25!!!!!!!
