RE: Half a Marathon onward ...
Training update ... 24 April
Heat! I really don't like it. So Easter weekend was a bit of a wash out for running. Following the Sunday 14 April half marathon outing (in 4 degree C temps), we did a Wednesday recovery run of c 5km slowly along Seaford seafront, with front of the quads a bit twingey due to the sustained downhills of the half.
Then Friday (even after a remarkably fun-filled 60th bash for Mrs Sweder on Thurs eve) we trotted up to Caburn and back, with a 10km therefore done. And Saturday morning a nice trip to Preston Park to celebrate Cam Moyle's 300th park run.
I attempted a c 22min run (hoping to duck under 22) - but the heat and post-half legs left me a shade over at 22:15. This was a PB for the run - and a measure of progress that I was slightly disappointed by the time!
The heat which then hit Sat-Mon and a dash north and back to Sheffield for a niece's 18th birthday put paid to any more running for this period. This meant my long-run was wiped out.
So I resolved to follow what I think is best advice and just press on with training schedule and not try to catch up. So Tuesday evening saw us head back to Seaford for a tempo run - with 3 x 1.5km at c 4:45 pace.
Speed run on Thursday ...
So fewer miles done, but back on track
On, on
