27M double; mile reps & long run
9M am incl 6x1M off 90s jog
18M pm steady
I was a bit overenthusiastic today perhaps. I didn't totally plan to run so hard, but was chomping at the bit to get back on track, so it just turned out the way it did by accident.
I was in clinic in Romford, so ran my usual mile rep session to Stratford in the morning. It was the usual slog with my heavy pack, so they weren't the fastest. But they were fairly good effort-wise.
I wanted to do a decent length run in the evening and half planned to run all the way home (18 miles), but wasn't sure it was the best idea after a hard session in the morning, wearing my pack and after my illness. After a decent first hour, I felt about as bad as I can remember feeling while running by the time I got to Mile End (11 miles). I think I must have been getting hypoglycaemic, because a Lucozade and an East Naturals bar sorted me out. By Angel (15 miles) I was pretty tired again and my legs didn't feel that steady. But I figured running was probably the fastest way home. And it's good to teach my body how to dip into its inner reserves, so I slogged on. If anything, I was getting stronger by the end.
I should think it was such a struggle mainly because I didn't have my usual glycogen reserves after last weekend's illness.
