6 PM
Running 40:00 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Run from home to see how I am holding up. Warmed up for 10 minutes and then threw in 4 x 1 minute efforts, 2 on the flat and then 2 uphill. Chest tight but ok through the first 2. Struggled with the hills and was walking by the time I got to the top of the last one. Easy run home, feeling ok and enjoying the endorphin hit from the reps.
7 PM
Note
so a wise runner I know once told me that you can't uncook a burnt turkey. I think I am finally working out that I am cooked and more than a bit singed.
Really frustrating as feel ok in myself and when running steadily. I know I need to be sensible but it is frustrating as I don't have an obvious problem like an injury or an illness.
Decided not to do the English champs races tomorrow and will jog round the compass sport cup race. This is a real blow as I wanted to run well for the team, but 95% certain that if I raced I would not run well and would not score.
Not going to feel sorry for myself as really enjoyed doing the Dragon's back but I supposed this is part of the learning experience of doing an Ultra of this kind in respect of the long tail of recovery.
