Monday recovery

It was just another early morning recovery run: nothing more, nothing less.

God, it felt hard this morning. The reps on Sunday may have felt easy but they had left their toll. It was either the reps or the distance. Thos 25 km had been long off an empty stomach and no water. Perhaps it was a combination of both but whatever the reason, running the recovery run was not the easy task that it had been destined to be initially.

I set off slowly and maintained my pace! No accelrations today. No increase in pace over the distance. I set off at 4:50 pace and I pretty much finished at 3:50 pace too. Sore thighs, tired legs and general lethargy all around. At least the weather was nice.

10.3 km all up in 49:00 so an average pace of 4:43/km.
