Well I planned on doing my long run tonight, 8K. As my running club run was near home and 6k. I decided to do that and then run straight home, or at least as far as I could and hopefully 8k. The club run was the hill training course I did two weeks ago and it was tough. It starts and ends a third of the way up the Wrekin and the run is around it; undulating is an understatement lol. I then left the group and set off for the 2mile route home; mostly lots of downhills with a short hilly bit in the middle. I planned on seeing how far I could get and ended up running to the 9.5K point, with the final half K brisk walking for a recovery. 10K in total. Although the downhills felt relatively easy I can tell I’ve probably overdone it, as I’m “aware” of my muscles and joints now. No pain but they know they’ve been worked 😂
So in the interest of not overdoing the weeks mileage, I guess I’ll do a shorter midweek short run and then finish with the 5k parkrun on Saturday. Does that sound sensible?
