Saturday 16th January - Rest Day
I was in the UK, going to watch the Spurs play out a disappointing 0-0 draw in the afternoon, did really have time for any training.
Sunday 17th January - 6km Run
Made two schoolboy errors that meant I didn't run as far as I wanted, firstly I left my gloves in my Dad's van after the football, my hands were about ready to drop off when I finished running and secondly I forgot to ask my sister where the key would be to get out of her house so I couldn't set out as early as I'd have liked. When I did get out it was a fairly slow run, partly as a result of icy paths and partly because of my freezing cold hands.
6.2km 4:40min/km 28:45
Monday 18h January - Rest Day
Tuesday 19th January - 10.6km Run
After the slow run on Sunday I pushed things pretty hard on my regular 10k route, mainly to try to get comfortable with a quicker pace before a half-marathon race in the coming weekend. I was about 40 seconds off my best time for the lap, but I was fairly pleased with it.
10.6km 4:11min/km 44:29
Wednesday 20th January - 1km Swim
It seems I've finally resolved my goggle issues so could get back to enjoying swimming more. I started off quickly but tired toward the end.
Thursday 21st January - Football
I wasn't going to play, since I had a half-marathon coming on the weekend, but decided it was worth the risk in the end. Didn't play very well, and my team got well and truly thrashed.
Friday 22nd January - Track Session
Did 1km jog to the jog, a 5k on the track in 4:05min/km pace and then 1km jog home. It was a comfortable run round, again getting me comfortable running at a good pace for the half marathon.
Hopefully I'll find time in the next couple of days to blog on how the half went, until then....hasta luego.
