Poor week

Very busy with testing this week so the training suffered a fair bit:

Mon - Claregalway recovery run 9.5km in 36:25 (3:50's)

Tue - 2km up, Treadmill threshold run 10km in 32:07 (3:13's), 2km down. All up 14.0kms

Wed - Claregalway recovery run 9.5km in 36:21 (3:50's)

Thu - 2km up, Treadmill threshold run 10km in 33:30 (3:21's). All up 11.0kms.

Fri - Treadmill recovery run 10km in 36:35 (3:40's)

Sat - 2km up, Treadmill threshold run 10km in 32:01 (3:12's), 2km down. All up 14.0kms

Sun - Rest day

Total for the week 68.0kms.....

Lots of lactate threshold testing so that was good fun. But the weather has been poor and I have the kids also so it was difficult to get outdoors. So on the treadmill a fair bit which is better than no run. Certainly my pace on the treadmill is getting a bit quicker so that's a good sign. But my run on Thursday I felt terrible so I pulled back on the pace and didn't bother with a warm-down. But I bounced back well on Friday and Saturday so I'd say I was just knackered.

Only 2 weeks now until the National Half so I need to find a decent week next week and then I'll pull back.
