Thanks, yeah I think I'm definitely over-analysing and brain is going into overdrive Conditions definitely seemed to affect everyone, a few guys I know ran slower than they usually do, up to as much as 60s for one consistent sub 33 guy.
Anyway, this week hasn't been too great. Did an easy recovery run on Sunday, 6km in 32min, very slow and felt fine, on Monday did another easy run but knew I was working way too hard for the pace, 4:50-5:00/km. Anyway on Tuesday morning felt terrible and visited my GP, and she said I was starting to pick up a cold but rest would sort it out. So she booked me off work Tuesday and Today, have been in bed since! I'm sure that wouldn't have helped my hard effort on Saturday either, coupled with the cold weather.
So I will ease back into running on Thursday afternoon with an easy 30min, and maybe try and build up to an hour again over the weekend, 45min on Saturday and 60min on Sunday. I know we don't ever make up workouts, so I'll continue with the program from next week?
Cheers
