Last week I did 4 runs including a coaching session, and did just the one strength session. My legs felt a little heavy in my run on Friday, probably delayed soreness from squats on Tuesday I’d think. This week I’ll ease myself back into weights alongside running again.

Here’s what I did last week:

Mon: 5M easy / PM 10k Coaching
Tue: Super Strength A
Wed: 35 mins hills
Thu: Rest (Travel)
Fri: 7.6M easy / hilly
Sat: Rest (Travel)
Sun: Rest (10k steps)

I had a good hill session on Wednesday, short and sharp, 35 mins including 15 mins of hill reps through the smartie tunnel.

Then towards the end of the week I travelled to and worked from Inverness. I took a couple of kettlebells just in case I fancied a Strength workout, but decided meeting friends was more important.

I spent quite a bit of time with my best friend and her husband (and bump), and some time with my surrogate family from when I was a teenager – all good.

I did a run up there, about an hour 20 running around the Daviot Woods. It was a nice day, not too warm and it had just stopped raining. It was a little hilly, so I slowed down accordingly, a nice wee run through the forest.

I had three rest days, I could have trained today, but I felt like I needed a rest day so I listened and took it. I went shopping instead, and bought some new clothes and a new TV… a workout or run would have been much cheaper! 10,000 steps today…

Here’s what I’m planning next week:

Mon: Super Strength B / PM 3-4M easy
Tue: 6-8M easy
Wed: Super 5s & Finisher
Thu: 5M Tempo
Fri: Super Strength A
Sat: 10M easy / long (haircut)
Sun: Rest

Oh and I’ve been eating some ice cream again…. one on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! A nice wee balanced week last week, full of fun, training and treats (but a good balance of calories in vs calories burned).
