21M - double; recovery run & medium long VO2 max session
5M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M with pack
16M pm including 30x800mish (2min30s hard) off 60s recovery
Another big day. This has to be the most solid week's training I've ever hit. In the last 7 days, I've run 141 miles (a record for me) and I've had 3 really good sessions (22M crescendo, 26.2 and this monster V02 max) with a good amount of general aerobic stuff in between.
And I'm feeling pretty good. No niggles. My calves and ankles are good. I was pretty springy when I started my reps today. I felt like I was running with good, race-type form. Though I did tire a bit towards the end.
The session is a long one. It takes nearly 2 hours. It's the 2nd time I've done it and both times I've had to not think about how many reps I have left until I hit half way. Bumping into some nice riot police from Cheshire on the Embankment distracted me for a bit with 22 reps to go. They were insistent that I rehydrate on some of their water.
