Week of Aug. 2 ~ 8
Plan: 25/20/25/15/20/35 = 140km
Ran: 25/20/30/0/20/35 = 130km / 81 mi. 11:42
Had to go on a business trip on Friday, so decided to do 30 on Thursday and 10 on Friday morning, however, I smashed my little toe into a door on Thursday night and it was still very sore on Friday morning. To tell the truth, my legs were trashed from the 30 on Thursday, so I probably would not have run anyway. Would have had to run at 7:30 in the morning, which for this spoiled freelancer is pure agony. Finished the week with a good 35k, though, moving at a good clip the last 5k.

35Km in 30 degree heat...impressive.
ReplyDeleteDid you weigh yourself afterwards?
Yes, interesting about the shoes. I thought Scott's thin soled shoes may have contributed to his sore legs problem in Townsville... not sure now.
ReplyDeleteI'm always 1 or 1.5kg lighter after those runs, even though I drink quite a bit during the run. But that's not so much compared to bigger guys, I suppose.
