Recovery week

January 26, 2011

The year 2011 started out great in terms of running for me. After 185, 200 and 190kilometers per week I logged in another 200km-week as my birthdayweek i.e. last week. Things are going very well at the moment. There is a good mix between easy and medium-hard runs plus one tempo session each week. As usual the speed is progressing rather slow but I’m used to that. For now I’m satisfied with running some 3:20min-kilometers.

Also on the long runs I have a better feeling and the last long run on Sunday my legs did not feel heavy at all after 25K.

The key thing is to stay healthy. Avoid injury and disease. If that is the case I will have a shape in spring, that I have not had for a long time.

So this week is an easy week with reduced mileage (guess it will be around 150).
