Training week (Jan 23rd - Jan 30th)

Had a good week this week, ran a half-marathon PB, felt no worse for the effort afterwards and was able to train well all week.
Saturday 23rd January - Rest Day
Had a rest ready for the following day's half-marathon.

Sunday 24th January - Santa Pola Half Marathon
As I said earlier in the week, this was a great race for me, now I'm really looking forward to the next couple of races and trying to push the PB down even further. I'd like to have a go at a 10k soon too, I did the 2nd 10k in 41:08 and in the five 10k races I've done up to now I've only gone quicker than that once.
21.1km 4:13min/km 1:28:50

Monday 25th January - Rest Day
After the hard work of the day before I gave myself a well earned rest.

Tuesday 26th January - 1,000m Swim
Went to the pool at 9am, expecting it to be fairly quiet, I was wrong, I won't make the same mistake next week. No after effects from the half, the only thing slowing me down was the number of other swimmers in the lane.
1,000m 28minutes

Wednesday 27th January - 12km Run
In the next few weeks i'll be gradually building up the length of my midweek and Sunday runs, did 12km this time. It was quite slow, mainly due to the strong wind that was blowing.
12km 4:30min/km 54:06

Thursday 28th January - Football
Played football for an hour, my team lost convincingly and I missed I think 4 good opportunities to score.

Friday 29th January - Track Session
Went to the track for some sprints, ran 1200m as a warm-up before 3x200m runs and 2x400m. Finished off with a gentle 1km.
