Building up the miles

Last weekend I ran 22 miles on the Sunday and It feels like I spent the rest of the week recovering. So this weekend I decided to have 2 medium runs to allow my body to recover fully. Yesterday it was an 11 mile run but I could feel the difference running on Tarmac makes. I'm pleased that my running will involve more off road as it certainly has less impact on my body. I was at a wedding last night so took it easy with the liquid carbs (beer) because I was meant to be out with the ultra runners in the morning. However no run details came through, I suspect they were hungover, so I ran around a football pitch while my son played his match. I managed 13 miles and running on soft grass is tiring so good practice for the desert. No for some proper recovery. Feet up watching the grand Prix then the football. Life is good.
