The week ended up decent enough. Went to UBC on Sunday Morning and got there right as the young’uns were heading out. I had to pick it up as I was a few mins behind, but they tend to take it pretty mellow at first, but I also don’t know the trails that well. Got lucky and caught them after about 15 mins. Ran with a group of guys til about an hour when I had to take a pit stop and lost the group. I ended up running for another 40mins by myself until I bumped into Jizzy. Good thing too as he said he had been running slow and I needed someone at that time. Ended up at 3hrs of varying paces, but felt tight from Sat’s session. Ended up at high 180 kms for the week
Recovered well from Sat and Sun as my AM run felt great and my PM run was one of those ‘I can’t run any slower’ no matter how hard I tried. It was a planned 55 mins easy but turned into a quick 56. At least it felt easy
Tues was another story. Had a lousy sleep (bloody dog decided she wanted to get up at 4ish and 5ish) and felt lousy during the day, but the main problem was this super chilli Jules made. Tasted great but having it for dinner on Mon and lunch on Tues caused me a few….errrr…ummmm….stomach problems, if you know what I mean. I thought I was going to throw up on the warm up, and a supposed great workout for me right now (6 x 1600m) turned into me timing the guys who did 5-6 x 1600m. Jizzy, did 6 around 4:40 lowish avg, Swedish guy Henrik looked real good as avg’d about the same but for 5 and Cardogg jumped in and out but it was the first time he’s done anything of a decent speed.
Wed was the lost day. My stomach was till bugging me on Wed AM so I decided to take the morning off ( a bit of a down week anyways). Decided to do one of the classic 10km sessions of 10 x 3mins of 1min rest up at the outer concrete trails around Mundy Park. Not bad as it felt hard, but controlled, and I ended up almost hitting the same spot each time (I think I actually covered more ground the last 3-4). A few more easy days and then the Foolsrun ½ marathon on Sunday. …hmmmmm……
