AtomThis week is a turning point in my training plan. I’ve come to realize that it is very unlikely I’ll be able to keep up my level of running. By body just can’t recover quickly enough. This week i went out for a 11-mile run on Thursday and my legs just felt dead. If this was an isolated incident I wouldn’t have worried about it too much, but I know I’ve been constantly tired for the last few weeks.
I’m going to cut back my running a bit during the week and do just 1 medium-long run during the week. I’ll continue to run long on Sundays. My plan for the coming week would thus be:
| Sun | 17 Miles |
| Mon | Rest |
| Tue | 5 Miles |
| Wed | 10 Miles |
| Thu | 5 Miles |
| Fri | 5 Miles |
| Sat | Rest |
I would run the same runs during the week and only the Sunday run will vary. This would still give me 42 miles for the week. I will make every effort to stay at 40 miles. The difference would be that during the week, I’ll be resting or just running an easy 5 miles and just the one medium-long run instead of the 2 I’ve been doing so far.
