A strange week this week.  Household has been hit with streaming colds, with myself being affected to some extent.  I have not really been down and out with a cold like others around me, but have been suffering to some extent.
All week whilst running my Heart Rate seems to have been elevated above what I would normally expect, and certainly compared to previous weeks.  I think the lurking virus may have something to do with this.

On Monday I missed our club run as I was feeling particularly off colour, and for the remainder of the week I have been running at a subdued level.
By Sundays long run things were certainly picking up and I felt much better after this run, not least to get a 20 miler in the bag, and at a decent enough clip for this stage of the year.  Last year I notice that I was pretty much fitter, but I am hopeful it will come back to me before VLM.

My aim now is to keep this level of mileage as consistent as possible, looking at not dipping below 70 between now and taper time.  Week after next maybe troublesome due to work commitments, however will have to try and plan around it.
