Wow. Running is tough. I'm running almost 40miles a week now. Not only is it tiring but a right juggling act to find the time to do it. Still the plan is to build to 50 miles a week asap and then stick to it until March. I'm also having to make some tough decisions about other events I'm running. Today was the South West Cross Country Championships. An event I'd normally want to be in good condition for. I found it tough going today after a 17mile training run yesterday. Not ideal preparation for racing against the beat athletes in the South West. I was pleased to finish just outside the top 100.
I've a break in racing now until February so I can hammer out the miles race free. Next week my midweek run increases to 8miles and my long run to 18. The following week 10 and 20. The numbers are daunting!
Still I'm pleased with this weekends efforts. Happy runner :)
