Happy Christmas !!!

This week has got more tough as it progressed.

Monday:ran home from work and felt sluggish after our club x-mas party the night before.
Met up with kevin M and the miles flew by then.
Run was meant to be 50mins but ended up chatting away and finished up with 9.5miles in 65mins,the last 2miles picked up to 6.30 pace.


Tuesday:10am run; 40mins 5.5miles

12pm; massage

6pm; 7.5miles 6.55pace

Nice solid day and hopefully the rub will help with my knee and few niggles of late.

This was my second Fartlek session since I started my programme.Tonight I didnt feel as fresh as last week but then the mileage has increased.

My aim was to keep the average mile between 655-6.38

1mile 6.52 2mile 6.38 3mile 6.58 4mile 6.18 5mile 6.22 6mile 6.39 7mile 6.50 8mile 6.46 9mile 6.45 10mile 6.24 followed by 2.5mile cool down.Met Trev Connolly towards the end of my cool down and ran with him around the ring road.The ring road is a 2mile loop around where i grew up in Kilnamanagh and where i started to run back in the day.

Worked a little too hard in the middle section tonight and was more tired than I expected after.

Total miles today:17.5
wtd:40


Thur:First 5miles was a slog this morning.Lack of sleep and a double the day before didn't help.I also had my work backpack on so didnt feel great.

Total miles today:14 time:1hour 42mins
