Week of Aug. 5 ~ 11

Took it easy this week just to make sure the calf muscle tear has healed, and I'm now sure that it has, so I'll start my training program from tomorrow.
Which will be:
Mon: 12k - 6 easy, 6 at "good" or "fast" pace, depending on how legs feel.
Tues: Rest
Wed: 11k - w/ intervals on the track, 1000m x 6 or similar variations.
Thur: 17k - am 8.5k easy, pm 8.5k easy

T&F World Championships has started out great for Japan with a bronze medal in the marathon by Fukushi. She is a real character, has long been my favorite Japanese runner. I've liked her ever since a long ago interview in which the announcer asked her, after winning a race, so what are you aiming for next? It's an annoying question, when you've just finished a big race, but Japanese always say something like: The Olympics is 2 years away, so I'll start training for that. Fukushi said: I'm aiming to see how much beer I can drink tonight.

Looks good. You are certainly light....hot weather?
ReplyDeletegood to see you back running. thanks for sending the namban rengo vest. stay fit bob.
ReplyDeleteNice reply from Fukushi. I also watched that race and was wrapped to see another Japanese come home in 4th place. It had to have been really hot out there too judging by the gap between 3rd and 4th. All the best for the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI like her too! Bloody good answer. Our TV coverage here is delayed highlights. Thank goodness for streaming. Missed W 10k - saw last km on TV, with Japanese lady pushing the pace, running a PB, but getting flogged in the last lap. Future marathon runner?
ReplyDeleteShe has run marathons. She won the first Tokyo marathon.
ReplyDeleteShe looks "too thin" - body fat percentage 3.1 - but then, she is the 5th best in the world....
Glad to see your injury has healed and you are back training. Looking forward to Watarase!
