Sat and Sun - Off - Time to call this week a de-load.
Had some nasty hip flexor issues that needed massaging out and took all wkend to come good - i think i over did things in my speed work on Fri. (did some hill sprints)
Felt 100% better by Monday morning, feeling great everywhere.
Massive rain day today (monday)
Planned on a 1hr run or 14km - ended up doing 13.5km then doing 5 or so minutes of water running
Must have been the rain, but the water was FREEZING today - which was fantastic.
The rain made the joggers about double the weight also.
Ran the 1st 10km in 40min, or 4min per 1km pace. Then the next 3km in 3min 40pace average. Even in the rain. Didnt feel like i was hitting Lactatic threshold, maybe just under it. Normally i can feel it in my shoulders and tri’s before anywhere.
Being in the rain, i wore older shoes, so, had to Foamroll out the calfs once back. They seemed to recover pretty quick.
So - 1hr all up today including the water running.
