So. As I already mentioned, Monday 5 in 31, Tuesday reps.
Wednesday I ran the same 5 again but tried a bit harder and was rewarded with 30:20
Thursday was with Plucky for 70 minutes. We ran within a few seconds of last weeks time at a checkpoint approx 30 minutes into the run. We certainly didn't slow up as last week so I'm confident we will have ran 6:15 pace again, if not a tad faster.
Friday, usually a day for no running but I don't think I will get to run tomorrow as I am helping Dave Grohl remember some lyrics. So I ran the 5 yet again. Fifth day of decent training in a row made itself known through my legs and 30:45 felt quite hard to achieve.
Well the training is paying off, maybe I should come to you for advice on speed work as you are getting faster and faster! Excellent training and no doubt your 5 mile loop will not be flat!
