Morning Gavin,
Last weeks interval session was okay, times for each 1k interval the same as the previous session. HR was a bit higher and id not feel as fresh as with the tempo run.
Went fishing on Saturday and probably had a backpack with around 12-15kg worth of fishing gear on my back. Hiked quite a bit over some tuff terrain to all the fishing spots. Needless to say, Sunday morning I woke up and felt like a train ran over me. Everything was stiff and sore and I realized that one's fitness and strength is towards your sport of preference....running, and not much towards anything else.
So I skipped Sundays long run ,and went for an easy 50min run this morning. Mostly Z1 and Z2, with some in Z3.
I will touch base with you next week to get some guidance as I want to start including cycling and leg strength work in training. This probably mean extending a training week to more than 7 days. As I get older I need to get stronger in other area's as well.
I'm off to the karoo and some wild camping for the week.
Over to you...
Phil
