There is not much to report this week. I kept on running regularly every day. I did not rest on Monday and basically ran 9 days in a row, a little record for me.<\/p>\n
Monday<\/a> I did 12k at 4:26 min\/km. Nothing special.<\/p>\n On Tuesday I tried something different that I had never done: longer repeats. After my usual warm up I did three 2km repeats<\/a> at around 3:45 min\/km with 2 minutes of recovery. Finished with a bit of cool down. It was a good experience. I am happy I managed to do them faster and faster and felt good at the end.<\/p>\n Wednesday I went out for an easy 13km run<\/a>. I did it at an average of 4:32 min\/km. Even if I was\u00a0feeling a bit tired it was a good kind of tired, not the type you feel like breaking, but the one that makes you feel like you are doing a good job and pushing yourself further without killing yourself. Once I get to the recover\/tapering week I am sure I will get rid of this tiredness and be stronger at the end, ready for the marathon.<\/p>\n To do a bit of hill training I went to Kingston Hill on Thursday<\/a>. I did five 500mt uphill with the downhill to rest. I could not do them as fast as last week, but I did an extra one.<\/p>\n On Friday<\/a> I did 10k of recovery as the hills the day before had left a lot of tiredness in my legs and then on Saturday I went for a 21.1k<\/a> (not casual) run in Richmond Park. It was quite a good day. Running in the daylight is always a plus after 5 days running in the dark. So even if tired (my right hamstring really was asking for a rest) I managed to do the half marathon distance at a 4:18 min\/km average, pushing a bit in the last three km.<\/p>\n And that was it for the week. I completed a 9 day streak, ran 6 times this week for a total of 81km<\/strong> and now I am ready to rest. Next week I will only run 8\/10km three\u00a0times and then Saturday I’ll be ready for my second trail marathon. I cannot wait.<\/p>\n Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is not much to report this week. I kept on running regularly every day.
