Quick catch up

After Saturdays very long and slightly painful long run, I actually recovered pretty quickly. My legs were tired on the Saturday night, so I took the real runners recovery option on when Matty & I went the Lions game and wore my skins under my jeans.. helped keep me warm too! Come Sunday I was perfectly fine again.

I have found my legs and generally me feeling really tired this week. Pats session on Tuesday was fairly intense, then on Wednesday morning I did my usual loop and my per/k was slower than my long run on Saturday.. hmmmmm. Wednesday night I went to State of Origin (yaaay!) so gave myself slightly longer in bed Thursday morning and opted to do Pats session on Friday instead. Fridays session was 2 x 5mins and then who-knows how many hill reps in the gardens, before finishing it off with a run to the Vulture St lamppost. I only worked at about 80% on the hills, as the last couple of hills I have done ended up with an inability to walk properly and a trip to the physio.
I had a quick chat to Pat on my warm down run and hes confident the next two weeks taper will sort out the tired feeling. I'm pretty sure it will do too, as I've just a short 2 hour (since when did 2 hours become a short run!) run tomorrow and then 90minutes the week after.. then a slightly larger one, but I forget exactly what thats called :)
