I was in Auckland for my NetFit course over the weekend, and wasn’t able to squeeze in a run for three days! This means I’m one long run down for the half-marathon the weekend after next. I was going to try to make it up, but dental work got in the way, and so I’ll just have to flag it.
Monday: had a 35 minute run around Queen Street and the waterfront, probably about 5km. I felt pretty stiff and sore, although it started to ease as the run went on.
Tuesday: 5km on the treadmill, gradually increasing my pace; finished with 5x100m strides.
Wednesday: Surprisingly, after the dental work yesterday, I had a good long hill run – it was just under 12km, and quite slow! But I was happy with the effort. Although it looked like a lovely day, it was damn freezing out there!
Thursday: Express Fit – felt sluggish and tight. Not eating solids yet, so that probably explains it.
