Recovering week.....and jog on!

For the last week I have been making the most of a ‘recovery week’ by having plenty of rest, and feeling pretty good for it now.

Mon 22nd: rest
Tues 23rd: 4 m run, 36:46, 8’57 pace, 348kcal
Wed 24th: rest
Thursday 25th: 5 m run, 45:49, 9’06 pace, 427kcal
Fri 26th: rest
Sat 27th: 5.5 m run, 58:54, 10’09 pace, 470kcal
Sun 28th: rest
Mon 29th: 4 m run, 33:19, 8’45 pace, 323kcal (Before work! Bring on the week!)
Tues 30th: rest. OK, it wasn’t meant to be. But Andrew has bought a house! So we cycled on Boris Bikes to see it. Which equals about 50 minutes cycling in central London, which is a good workout, and even better, am still in one piece. Bonus.

Taking it easy means time for other stuff, including camping in the van! Camping trip involved a run which was really pretty, only 20 miles away from London but felt really far away, running through fields of flowers and along bridleways in the woods. Campsite didn’t have a shower, so I now consider myself a proper camper, after washing in a washing-up bowl behind a windshield in a field. Haha! Worth it for staying somewhere beautiful and having a campfire at night :-)

And now to jog on ...I need to get a good weeks training in...10 miles home tonight.....



....in new shoes!
