Today started with a long lie, a full breakfast and then watched my son play football - good victory and he scored! Then I had to drag myself out for a 1.5 hour run with the weather starting to turn windy and wet. But when you have a written programme and you know you will be meeting your coach in the next couple of days to examine the results, you can't skip it. Knowing that each mile is recorded and will be compared means there are no "junk miles" - every one counts. Also my coach likes a negative split meaning the 2nd half of the run should be quicker than the first half. This keeps you completely focused with every step and giving it everything at the end.
So I managed to knock almost 2 minutes of last weeks time and I achieved the negative split - yeeeees!
Shower, recover and replenish with food and fluids. After dinner I finished the weekend off with a gym workout to build my strength. Now for a cup of tea and X factor - it doesn't require any thought or effort!
