Yesterday afternoon (2 days after the 29, and two easy 5 milers Monday), I did a 23 miler. Felt pretty good from the off, it was 28 degrees or so, but a bit of a breeze, so heat wasn't a major issue. First 3 laps of 4 were fine, last one was suddenly grim in the extreme, feet very sore, ankles painful and a bit bruised at the end, lower back hurting a bit, just very uncomfortable for the last 6 miles. Caught up with me a bit.
The time was 3.44ish, similar time to the last 23 I did, 9.37 miling, but struggled much more late on. Still ground it out, but a timely reminder to keep an eye on the load - I am redlining it a bit in terms of volume, just relentlessly ramping it up and going long again two days later.
Lunchtime today did an easy 5 and a bit, first couple of miles not great but better than expected after. See how I go tonight, then have a think about tomorrow, whether to do another long one. Plan says yes.
What does compoooter say?
