Monday: rest
Tuesday: 2k warm-up on the treadmill, including some 40m sprints for netball training; then Express Fit circuit – focus on core, good workout.
Wednesday: 5k run around the Bays, feeling good. Added some sprints, and direction changes towards the end. Good pace.
Thursday: Express Fit (just a 1/2km jog to the gym to warm up) – focus on cardio – exhausting! Then I had a discussion with the trainers, and after a long dialogue, I agreed to a change of emphasis in my training plan for the next half-marathon – in July. I’m going to cut down to 3 runs a week, plus a short warm-up for netball on Saturdays. They think that the three runs, all the gym work plus playing netball is more than enough for my body to cope with. I’m not so sure – I’d rather run more! They also recommend adding in a Yoga session on Tuesday evenings. So I’ll give it a go – if I don’t run better in July, I’ll know they’re wrong!!!
Friday: Glorious day, and I ran 8km in 50:37 – awesome effort! It was hard towards the end, but I wasn’t in any difficulty holding the pace. Happy!
