Just a short post on my week 7 half training!
As I was preparing to race at the weekend I didn't want to push myself too much this week. I definitely did not want to risk injury by running too much during the week so I settle for a gentle long run at the start of the week and a nice short slow 4km closer to race day.
Sunday I headed out on a road run and aimed to push my distance to 12km. I hadn't a route planned so I was keeping an eye on my kms as I circled the town twice and doubled back the same route once I hit 8km. Although I was going easy I was still making good time and I was pretty happy hitting 12.5km in just over 75 minutes without too much stress.
I padded out my exercise for the week with the usual hot pilates class on Tuesday and swim laps on Wednesday. Inferno this week was super strenuous and I wasn't able to finish some of the repeats (torturous burpees with pushups) and later in the week my my abs and arms were in bits. But I find the swimming on Wednesday mornings really does help my muscles relax and every week I am getting faster.
Thursday I braved the rain and did an easy 4km road run just to loosen out and keep my momentum for the week. I didn't want to go too far or too quickly as it would be just my luck to get injured before Kinvara and I was way too excited to let that happen!
My previous blog post has all the details on the Rock and Road 10km, but I was stoked to run what was quite a tough course in 57:37 and to receive my first finishers medal of the year!
