Plan 1 – Week 6

  • Oct 27-2

I feel like its been another solid week.

Apart from the training, I have tried to focus on my recovery. I’ve had good sleep all week and my HRV through the night has been good and I am back to being balanced and stable.

My legs did feel slightly heavy yesterday for the race though.

Tuesday easy run with strides.

Wednesday was a solid track session were I was defiantly working towards the end.

Thursday was a good progression run with friends.

Saturday easy park run and some extra.

Sunday I rocked up to the race with a “trust the process” attitude. I started controlled, possibly a little too controlled. The trail path hill at the mid point made you work a little but once I recovered I pushed on and raised the effort. I finished strong and raised that HR.

My confidence is coming back but I have a way to go. I think there is more in the legs to go out harder and need to just trust myself.

Sunday evening got a little workout in the living room whilst the Mrs was watching shit on TV.

COACH

Yes another really strong week and glad you are finding the extra rest day useful. I think with the race scenario and pushing yourself that’s just a case of having that understanding and awareness of where you fitness is currently at. As you learn that you can trust yourself that the pace you’re running at is right. To be honest if we pace ourselves correctly, early stages of any race, even a 5k, should have an element of comfortableness (is that a word?) to it, so I wouldn’t worry too much about yesterday and the first few miles. Sounds like you ran a really smart race and finished strongly.
