Time To Run!

Posted by speedygeoff on Sunday, January 11, 2009 with
After a sluggish 1500m last Thursday, this weekend I have been feeling much better; on Saturday I ran 3:49, 3:36 and 3:35 for my 3x1k; I followed this up with a second run in the cool of the afternoon; and I pushed fairly hard at times on this morning's run. Given that the temperature should go up again this week, I am thinking of having an easier day tomorrow and try for a quality run on Tuesday and not worry too much about any racing that might be on offer this Thursday

OK, a good day; why are the bad days so bad? While I don't over-train, I definitely don't under-race. A clue there, I think.

I haven’t got the full results for the “hand timed 3000”, nor any results for the spiral 4, which wasn’t an Adler, so may never appear?

...waking up is hard to do. Now you know, you know that it's true.
