Marathon Training Day 17

Well, it’s been a busy day on the blog, hasn’t it? It’s been a long time since I managed three posts in one day. I’ve done my time on the naughty step for jumping to conclusions with Sports Direct. I’m still just a little bit mad at myself, but, such is life.

Today’s session was a slow six miles, pace around 10:30 per mile. I’m very tired this week and I think it showed in my run tonight. I felt tired and a bit sluggish towards the end. I managed to keep the pace but I felt it was a bit of a hard slog. I need some sleep. I don’t know why I am so tired as I have been going to bed at the same time as always. I don’t think I’m coming down with anything. I do wonder if my body is still getting used to the extra training days. After all, since the end of October I’ve only managed every other day and virtually no Saturday runs. To suddenly throw my body into three days consecutive, rest, two days consecutive, rest, repeat may be taking its toll. It is still only the third week. Maybe it will get better in a couple more weeks.

Tomorrow should be fun as it’s one of the brisk pace runs – my favourites – as I’ve said before. Until then.
