Week 24

Coming off the high from last week and Sunday's long run, fatigue began to set in mid-week. Tuesday night I did 8 x 1k @ 40% with 60 seconds rest on the road 1k loop I used in the winter from my house. I felt great that night but was completely exhausted the next day. I think this was probably a combination of the mileage, taking the workout a bit harder than I should have, and my work schedule. I am at the end of two consecutive 60 hour work weeks and haven't had a day off since Saturday, May 8th. I am really looking forward to next Tuesday which will be a much needed day off from work.

After taking it a bit easier the next few days I headed to the track Friday morning for a workout. I did 4 x 200 (100j), 8 x 250 (150j), 4 x 200 (200j), 2 x 150 (250j), 4 x 200 (100j). There were some varying paces during the workout but the focus was the second set of 200s and the 150s. I felt pretty good although still a bit sore from lifting Wednesday night. The focus in the coming weeks is to get in the hard work but find a balance that will allow me to recover a bit better than I did this week.
