4 Weeks to Go

Today was perfect running weather - overcast, not too warm but not cold and even a hint of drizzle early on.  Please can we put in an order for weather like that on the 17th?
The run today was an easy 30 minutes so we went cross country.  We were talking about how we haven't been that good at treating the easy runs as easy - we tend to go too quickly in them.  We'll have plenty of easy runs during taper so we'll have to make sure we watch the speed during those.  Going cross country helps but we came across a freshly ploughed field today.  That panicked us a bit as the last thing we need at this stage is go over and hurt ourselves.


Total miles this week was 39.


Next week's plan is:


Monday - REST
Tuesday - 10mins ER, 20mins threshold repeated 3 times with 1min recoveries, 10mins ER
Wednesday - 50mins ER
Thursday - 10mins ER, 4mins at interval pace with 1min recovery repeated 8 times (very similar to 8 Yassos), 10mins ER
Friday - REST
Saturday - 22 miles with the final 60 minutes at marathon pace
Sunday - 30mins steady
