Holidays gave me plenty of time but nothing to do so I decided to test my capabilities this week and came up trumps in a sense.
Originally I had planned a build on Monday & although this increased a little bit i decided not to do what I had originally planned.
The more I thought about it I realised it is my longest run that will help me most so i decided to aim for an increase on Friday instead.
This week I've peaked in a sense that I've never ran 50 miles in a week ever before.
Although I've hit 50 miles this week it was my plan to reach 50 miles 12 weeks before Amsterdam.
It's a great feeling to have hit 50 miles {mentally} so at least now i know I'm capable of doing so but from next week on I aim to do it right {i.e. Monday's medium long run & Friday's long run need to hit the right targets}.
Still all in all a very productive week.
Below is my training for this week:
Monday: 7 miles @ 8:09 pace (General)
Tuesday: 4 miles @ 8:22 pace (General) A.M.
3.04 miles @ 8:29 pace (Recovery) P.M.
Wednesday: 5 miles @ 8:52 pace (General)
Thursday: 3.05 miles @ 8:48 pace (General) A.M.
3.00 miles @ 9:21 pace (Recovery) P.M.
Friday: 20 miles @ 8:49 pace (Long Run)
Saturday: 5 miles @ 8:50 pace (Recovery)
Total weeks Mileage: 50.11 miles.
Increase on previous week: 12.89 miles.
