Twelve weeks into the training block. Quick summary of what’s working and what isn’t.

This week

Recovery. Sleep&rest so I can enter the final training block prepared.

Last week

  • Mon: rest
  • Tue: 7km easy
  • Wed: rest
  • Thu: rest, bike ride in the afternoon
  • Fri: 35km long run
  • Sat: rest
  • Sun: rest

Notes

Long runs are starting to feel like the actual point of the week rather than the scary part. Sleep matters more than any single workout — obvious in hindsight, but easy to ignore when the plan says “run.” Life gets into the way - last week’s original plan was

  • Mon: rest
  • Tue: 12km easy
  • Wed: 10x1’ uphill intervals
  • Thu: rest
  • Fri: 35km long run
  • Sat: rest
  • Sun: 6km easy
