2 days until my last 10k for a while

I have the second of the Castle Coombe 10k on Sunday, I came home in fourth place earlier in the year in a time of 35:18 (that time seems quite familiar!! yes its my pb but I did equal it a few weeks ago).

Since Tuesdays, I have concentrated in getting some longish runs in, Wednesday I did 8 miles on my lunch time, they were tough after Tuesday evenings track session. Thursday, I was undecided what to do, in the end I ran home, via Emma’s office to drop my rucsack was far to heavy to run 9 miles with, and that sorted out my run today, I ran back into work in total 26 miles in less than 3 days. My legs did hurt and I knew they would so I ran in with my rucsack on containing my swimming gear. So I went to the Dolphin Pool just up the road from work and did a quick fire 500m, mostly using arms to help my legs recover but still it still hurt as I haven’t swan since 2 months since my last holiday.

As for tomorrow, we are off to the Zoo, I am not running, trying to rest in the hope that the miles haven’t taken their toll and I can try to get to a 10k time that compliments my 5k time, we shall see!!!
