Pre-Storm Double
Monday, October 13, 2014I've had a quick think about the training plan, assuming no injury:
5 weekdays totaling 70-75km:
- 3 commute runs to work and return (say 3x16km)
- 1 speed session (say 12-14km) - HuRTS
- Optional MLR or base miles (say 10-15km)
Weekends to add another 35-40km:
- Saturday MLR (15km+) or second speed session (10km)
- Sunday LR (25km+)
This would put weekly mileage around 105-115km with a reasonable amount of quality. Key is also to ensure hills feature in recovery + LRs. Tuesday HuRTs can always be substituted for Thursday.
Circling back to today's runs, I did battle some serious early morning leg stiffness. Let's join the dots - more-than-normal cycling (say 20% contribution), 30km Sunday LR with hills (70% contribution), old-age (10% contribution).
Weather was great in the morning - 8km recovery across the bridge. I show this because by late afternoon, sky was pitch black with thunderstorms.

Happy I skipped the run home, because by that time it was absolutely bucketing.
Daily summary - 18km, all at easy pace. Legs stiff, some mild soreness under right knee cap (standard niggle, expect this to disappear)
