Down to Business

Ok s'pose I'll start with a summary of last weeks training:
Sunday 18miles -7min/mile Avg HR 147bpm
Monday 9miles - 7min/mile 149bpm
Tuesday: Session 11.2miles incl: 3xmiles (5.20/5.29/5.28) with 1/2mile recovery. Tough going!
Wednesday 7.2miles - 7min/mile 146bpm
Thursday 8.8miles - 7min/mile 147bpm
Friday 9.25miles - 7.09min/mile 147bpm
Saturday: Tempo run 4miles @ 5.54min/mile with 0.6mile cool down. Reason for this lunacy (ie no warm up & pretty much no cool down) was I was caught for time.
So a good enough week. My pace was a little slower than I would have liked as I had been knocking out 6.45min/miles without much difficulty in recent times. I guess it could be a combination of things. The food here is n't the most nutritious, not sleeping the best or maybe it's just the increase in mileage. Anyway there's nothing wrong with 7 minute miling OK!!!

This week (recovery week!!)
Sunday: Rest (went for Burgers off site)
Monday 8.36 miles - 7min/mile 144bpm
Tuesday 8.11 miles -6.58min/mile 147bpm
Wednesday 8.7miles - 6.58min/mile 147bpm

Ok stat's out of the way - next post will show a little more imagination...
