Start of another High Volume Week.

MONDAY 18/4/05, 6.30PM- 6K

Slept in (needed it!- about 7 hours) and had lunch meetings. Got out for a run after work.Had a sore on the arch of one foot which I;d exacerbated by picking at it, so it was bloody sore during the run, which meant I only did 6K instead of the 10Kish I wanted to do. Ran from work to Waterloo Park and back, 6.1Kin 29.33 at 4.48min/km pace. Felt like I was moving mechanically well but my foot was bloody sore with each strike, especially downhills. Unseasonably hot day for mid April- 29 C at 6pm.

TUESDAY 19/4/05, 12.15PM- 11.5K (53.44, 4.40min/km), WEEK TO DATE 17.5K

Skipped hills because my foot was so painful on downhills. Slept in (7 hours sleep), taped it up and ran work- LCNP 10K course in reverse- work. Felt tired on the way out, then hit the weir in 24.40 and realised I was moving well. Came off Scribbly in 38.30 and finished well. Solid work. 24 C.

TUESDAY 19/4/05, 6.30PM- 8K, WEEK TO DATE 25.5K

Same as last night, but out to the end of Crimea Rd. Quite hilly, including one hill near halfway I do twice which is steep enough your heels don't touch the ground. 8.2K in 40.30 @ 4.56min/km. Stomach was churning- possibly the stale muffin I ate as part of breakfast.
