Rubbish week, rubbish sunday run!
Jan1520129:02 p.m.
Another week done. Training has been rubbish.
I had some sort of illness on Tuesday and Wednesday involving a lot of vomit so my first run of the week was 9KM on Friday
The run was nice and slow with some work friends but I was feeling some slight pain in my right shin
On Saturday I went for a very gentle 6KM run in beautiful sunshine and again I could feel my shin.
Today was meant to be my long run. I had planned a hard 15 miler. I know that I probably should have scrapped the run as I have been ill and with the slight leg pain but I thought I would just go slowly and get the miles in.
Well I ran the first hard 10KM ( which has a large hill section) OK but as I headed off to the village of Bramber I just seem to run out of motivation. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't seem to make myself run! So I walked for a bit, probably about 1KM and then set off again. I felt OK and ran another 3KM no problem and then I stopped again but this time I just felt like I had no energy, so I decided to cut the run short, down to 20KM. But the last part was mostly walking
All in all a rubbish performance. And now I am sitting at home and my calfs are killing me! The right one which was niggling is now quite painful, I would guess a shin splints and my left calf is also sore.
So all in all not an ideal week. I am in Prague all of next week and I am not sure what to do with my training now. I need to get some miles in for Tokyo but at the same time my legs feel like they could do with some time off
I'd DOOMED! ;o)
