This last week I’ve not run much… partly to do with the ice, and partly to take some rest and recovery. The week before I’d run 26.2 miles over 3 run days, and had done 2 strength sessions. By the time Sunday came I was well tired.

This week, I did strength on Monday, then a lunchtime run on Tuesday, followed by some coaching (strength) in the evening. And then I took Wednesday as Rest, Thursday my second Strength session, then rest Friday Saturday.

I could have maybe run on Friday or Saturday, but it was really icy so I decided there was no point and Rest would be better.

Today I cycled for 15 mins to drop my hike off to a friend, then ran 8 mile home along the Kelvin River, then along Sauchihall Street, Buchanan Street and along the Clyde home.

2 runs, 2 strength, plenty walking, 3 rest days. Just what I needed I think.

Mon: PT Strength
Tue: 3.7M run / coaching PM
Wed: Rest
Thu: Strength (PM)
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest
Sun: 8M run

It means I’m a little behind in my 100 mile goal, but I should still make it. 44.9 miles completed, 58% of the way through the month.

Here’s the plan for the next 2 weeks:

Mon: PT Strength
Tue: 8M run
Wed: 7M run
Thu: Strength / Coaching 6.2M
Fri: 7M run
Sat: Rest
Sun: Strength

(28.2M + 44.9M = 73.1M)

Mon: Rest (Christmas Day)
Tue: Rest
Wed: 13.1M
Thu: Strength
Fri: Rest
Sat: 7.8M
Sun: 6M

That should do it. I’m off a few days over Christmas so, there’s no excuses not to run.
