Second week of serious marathon training and to be honest really not the best of weeks. Have felt pretty tired most of the week and my HR seems somewhat elevated. Maybe the efforts from the previous week.
Monday did not start off too bad with a decent enough club run from the Hornchurch track, but running this off the back of my longest run for almost 8 months the previous day was probably not the best idea.
Tuesday was my run commute day. Everything prepared at work. My backpack (with laptop, additional clothes etc.) did feel particularly heavy. Made for a laboured run through a busy East London. I prefer to run into work from Stratford following the canals, however time precluded this option and I therefore took a more direct run into work. For the remainder of the day my left abductor was extremely uncomfortable. Decision was made not to make the return run commute.
Once back at home felt a lot better and the 5 mile run in the evening did not present any problem.
By Friday I felt dead on my feet, so took an unschedule rest day. Felt so much better for it on Saturday hence a speedy 8 mile ensued.
Sundays run was horrific. Not my favourite route running up the A12, a bit dreary to be honest. Made worse by the miserable windy weather and a late start to due to football commitments in the morning. For about 10 miles felt like I was constantly battling the wind. By mile 15 I was feeling pretty wasted and dehydrated (unusual). Just glad to make it home and get in a nice hot bath.
On a positive note I did make all my running targets for the week. 8 runs as part of Jantastic and to get to at least 70 miles for the week.
Groin area from operation still grumbling a bit but manageable. Hope the next week picks up a little, however weather does not look promising.
I hate the wind!!
