Saturday<\/a> I felt good enough to go for a long run, grabbed my trusty handheld bottle, one gel (I should have taken 2) and went out in the freezing cold. It was between -2 and 0 all the time. It went really well: Bushy Park, Hampton Court to Kingston, Richmond Park and then into Wimbledon Common. I know so little of Wimbledon Common and it is so wild in places that I got lost running in the woods and mud.

Beautiful run, started on icy trails, caught some snow, rain and finished in the sunshine.<\/p>\nSo all in all a good easy\u00a0week, ran a total of 65k<\/strong> and, I think,\u00a0recovered\u00a0well. Next week I will resume The Cool Impossible training plan. I managed to get the heart rate monitor working again, by buying a new one. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nStay tuned for more, the next marathon is one month away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
After the epicness (at least for me) of last week I had to rest a bit and take it easy. It took me three days to recover from the marathon. I think the pain in the legs I felt on Sunday was mostly due to the mud. I really had to use muscles I rarely […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[8,48],"class_list":["post-191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-beer","tag-recovery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luigifumero.com\/run\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

<\/a>Tuesday I had planned to go for an easy run but still felt very stiff, so I stayed in bed. Wednesday<\/a> I finally went for a run and it felt so good. Three days with no running is now too much for me. I did 10 easy km at 4:25 min\/km. It was quite warm, surprisingly so.<\/p>\n
