Last week I got two runs, two strength sessions and three rest days in. A good balance – not overdoing it, and getting enough rest too. Here’s what I did:

Mon: Deadlift Strength
Tue: 3.2M lunchtime run
Wed: Rest
Thu: Clean n Press Strength
Fri: 6M Run
Sat: Rest
Sun: Rest

I’m listening to how I’m feeling but still getting regular exercise in. The social runs have been good, and this week I plan on doing some more runs and a couple of strength sessions before having rest at the weekend.

Mon: Rest
Tue: 5-6M Run / Squat Strength
Wed: 4-5M Run / maybe swim
Thu: Deadlift Strength / run
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest / or run
Sun: Rest / or swim

My miles for June are quite low, half way through at just 24 miles, but I have been doing more strength training and resting when I need it so I’m ok with that.

In the next wee while I’ll try to alternate run days with strength days and take it from there, rest or walk when I need rest days.

I’m going to take some time out in the next few weeks, so there will be some fewer posts on here and on my Facebook page.

Time to focus on what’s important.
