Week Ending 17th November

After last weeks tiredness, I decided to rest until I felt better. On awednesday evening I felt somewhat better and did 20 minutes tabata and whilst not my best effort I did OK and felt mentally relaxed. I decided to go for the half marathon in Leighton Buzzard on Saturday morning, and ran 1h34m41 for 38th place. I ran without a watch and expected somewhere around 1h37 to 1h40, so was pleasantly surprised with the time. However it sold itself as a trail race, and being a proper off road runner, I have a differing view of off road. So 9 miles of tarmaced canal towpath was ruinous for my calfs and hip flexors in my innov8's. A lesson learnt. Could have ran a couple of minutes better in road/trails shoes instead. A light gym session to loosen the legs and some weights today. On the way back!
