Week of October 12 ~ 18
35.8km - recovery week.
Last year on Wednesday of this week, after the 10K race, I tried to do the club interval workout and got a pain in my hamstring. Which took 6 months to completely go away.
So, a year later and quite a bit smarter.
Two rest days, then three easy days of 5-6k, then an easy 8k run, and today an easy 12k run. No aches or pains at all, so I'll try a tempo run tomorrow.
Nice running weather, about 22° every day, supposed to be clear all next week.
In American School cross-country news, both our boys and girls won the Far East Championships, held in Guam. Four runners score and our girls had four in the top ten, boys had four in the top 11. So it was a rout. And our top boy and girl both won. The team still has two more meets in Japan.
My next race is a 10K on Nov. 23rd. So four good training weeks and a taper week until then.

Where on Guam was it held? I was there in the 90's teaching and coaching. Good idea to take a few easy days.
ReplyDeleteVery sensible Bob. Good luck for the next few weeks. Nice running from the kids.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go, but the Guam race was a Tamuning, on the JFK high school course. During the typhoon!
