After glenmore 24, I ran down to asda and back for some shopping, it is only a 3 mile round trip. When I got back I had some pain in my ankle which turned out to be a small muscle tear. This resulted in 3 weeks off and total cabin fever. So a few weeks later I can get back into it.
Monday - easy 6 miles (8:07 min miles)
Tuesday - Very easy 3.5 miles. (8:35 min miles)
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - 6 miles steady/easy (7:28 min miles)
Friday - 8 miles steady/easy with 1 mile quicker at 6:25
Saturday - 3 miles on the grass in barefoot trainers
Sunday - 6 miles easy in the sand
Weekly miles - 33
This week was just about getting back into it after my injury had healed up. 33 miles is a bit poor for a weekly milage but at least it began to get my legs moving again. I felt sluggish most of the week and my legs were sore from Sunday nights circuits. Friday's session with 1 quicker mile at 6:25 felt like really hard work, when a few months ago I would have rattled off much quicker miles over a decent distance. On Saturday I decided to give the barefoot shoes a go again and done 3 easy miles. They did feel good but my form must have slipped and I noticed the sore calves almost right away.
On Sunday morning the tide was out along the river Clyde so I took off down the shore and ran along the sand (strava link here https://www.strava.com/activities/406048280 ). I've no idea why I haven't ran this before as it was amazing! Also it showed an interesting strava map.There was still plenty of water and soft sand so it was tough in the legs and I'll try and get back down there again.
Anyway onto next week with some speed work and more miles, happy days.
