So...
Anyone following my trials and tribulations will be aware that my last two runs (W1R3 and W2R1) were not exactly ideal. I ended them both in a lot of pain, and w1r3 specifically, barely able to walk.
Well I’ve made some changes. Small changes, but changes all the same.
- take 2 recovery days in between every run
- drink a shed load more water
The extra two recovery days will put my program from 9 weeks to 12 weeks. For me that’s fine. It’s the goal that matters not the time it takes to get there.
I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been drinking enough water out here in the desert so I’m making a conscious effort to drink more. I drank an extra 3 litres since dinner time yesterday.
Today was W2R2.
The net result of these two changes... slight pain in the shins from the end of the second to last running segment, but nothing major, and a big grin on my face as I realised at the end that I was really happy, despite getting soaked in a downpour.
Thanks for all the support you guys have been showing me. It’s all much appreciated.
