This was a struggle this morning and what you have just stated is exactly what I was thinking on way round, I don't seem to be recovering at all but doing nothing different! I guess the higher intensity of this cycle is having a deeper affect on my body than I realise. The quads are struggling a bit. I just couldn't go any quicker this morning, not that I actually wanted too, it just felt like the batteries were flat. One slight concern is 1 km into this mornings morning the arch of my right foot started hurting a bit, it felt like there is an elastic band in there that has snapped or something. It's not really sore , more uncomfortable so my immediate reaction was to keep it slow and see how it felt. It didn't get any worse, so I said to myself immediately to rest it tomorrow and have two days off and see what it feels like Sunday. If its OK then take a bit longer stretching and see what the usual warm up feels like prior to the paced session, if I get that far. Essentially, one step at a time. No running tomorrow/Saturday either way.
