The last 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year I have been sick and recovering :-(
I was first ill on Sunday 21st December and took a while to even begin to feel better so didn't have another run until Saturday 27th December which was a 7k. Since then I have had a run every 2nd day. Today I ran a 15k with a pace of 5:51 and enjoyed it very much!
I have decided to stop following all of the Hanson's Method training as I believe training so much was why it took me much longer to recover from illness than my other family members who were fine after a day. The training seems to have worn my body out. Also it is VERY hard to find the time for all the training when I have a family and my youngest isn't old enough to be home alone.
I now have to adjust my goal for Barcelona Marathon. My new goal is simply to get a new PB :-)
My new training for Week 9 will be:-
Monday - OFF
Tuesday - OFF
Wednesday - 10 x 400 speed training with 400 recovery
Thursday - 10k with a pace of at least 6:00
Friday - OFF
Saturday - 10k with a pace of at least 6:00
Sunday - 25k with a pace of 5:50
I haven't done so well with running Tempo runs on demand so I'm going to leave this open and run at least one Tempo run every 2 weeks. I'll do this run on whatever day I'm feeling great and these will be run with a pace of at least 5:20.
I will leave the training plan below for my virtual training partner Danny to follow.
