So this week looked a lot different than it was supposed to, I had planned 75 miles but as soon as I started the speedwork I knew my legs would n't be up to the faster stuff and long miles, I'm still a few weeks away from that. Tuesdays speed session was the first for a while, although I did manage to keep to my taget but it was hard work. On Wednesday my legs just didn't have it so it was a short recovery before Thursdays club session. 3 x 1 mile I started too quickly at 5:18 and then suffered the next 2, limping home in 5:33 each time. That's the only 2 good sessions I had this week, I felt like I was just wasting miles on the other runs. I  need to get back on the foam roller, its the obvious reason my legs suffered all week.

Anyway onwards and upwards and lessons learnt for the coming week.
