EAsy coaching the group - little tired from yesterday but no issue

EAsy coaching the group - little tired from yesterday but no issue

3hr Moderate Run

Swapped the Sunday and Friday sessions as have work on Sunday....

A few degrees warmer today and even some sunshine up at Llandegla so I could run in a T-shirt!

Stuck to the hard packed trails for 90% of the run avoiding the more technical parts of the forest

I guess this might be a little to much climb than ideal for the Moderate runs but I did my best to avoid longer climbs...stuck to the Moderate Parameters well though and never really felt like I was pushing things with regards to how hard I was working.

I'm not sure if I got the pacing wrong but I wouldn't have usually done 22 miles up in Llandegla in 3 hours (moderate) and in the last 30 minutes although not feeling tired my legs did start to tie up a bit in the hamstrings and even more so in the last 15 minutes.

I never had to breathe hard though and ran by feel so not too worried about that though seen as its the longest run I have done for a while and I could tell it was some tiredness from the drills on Wednesday.

Walked the dog afterwards and did some movements at home leaving no niggles afterwards.

The usual heel pain on Friday evening but some self massage seems to help....im sure its not PF, its quite isolated and the exact spot I hit the rock with in May last year so trauma I think..

Fine this morning (Saturday)

Fuel wise went well just two of my nutty balls :)

Easy coaching with the group

Easy back to back coaching on park paths.....some drills and sprints included (not by me)

feeling good today

60' Easy with Speed Variations

Was on the road for most of it but cut off on to a walking trail for the speed variations and did these up and down the same section of softer ground...Felt good on the 8 x 30-45 bursts which were closer to 45 each time.

long hill reps in Llandegla with a client around 5-6 mins each time with recovery walking back down.

no issues.

coaching again in Mold with the group. Easy but tired after earlier and then working around the house.

Coaching on flat trails in the sunshine!

Good morning and felt fresh.

coaching the group - drills technique etc. ....

2hrs 30' Moderate - had to be cut short unfortunately...I had Winter waking us up at 4am on Sunday and not going back to sleep...had to help out at home and left later than planned.

I had to be home by 1pm so 2 hours was maximum if I wanted to eat :)

The run itself was in pretty shit weather, cold and sleeting for the first hour then windy.
