RE: Running into the sunset – week seven

in #running6 years ago

Sounds like you are struggling a bit. Hope you can find your strength soon. I'm not doing as much as you, but my ageing body does complain a bit.

Sort:  

I think it was mostly not enough food that did me in. But this was always the plan - to push really hard and get some good adaptations early on, and then build on them.

This should be my last week of doing that. then I get a bit of a rest and focus on core strength and speed work, before going back to long slow distances for a few weeks.

I think that cutting back the distances for most of my running is helping keep the injuries at bay, for now. So it will be interesting to see what happens when i start to build up the mileage again. Hopefully with all the strength work etc my body will be fine with it.

We'll just have to wait and see :-)
