Thursday Training

On Thursday, I was a very naughty boy.

I ran to and from the Gym.  4 miles.  Plus 1km on the treadmill.  A grand total of 4.6 miles.  I could feel the knees...and the hamstrings.  Not good but bearable.  But could I run 26.2 miles with my legs feeling like this?  Thats another matter entirely.

Warm Up

• 2 mile road run.  Av HR 149bpm, Av Pace 9:35 min/mile (so slow)
• 1km treadmill.  5:00.  Av HR 148bpm, Av Pace 8:00 min/mile (quicker)

TRX

• Crucifix (3sets x 10reps) 
• Shoulder Press (3sets x 10reps)
• One Armed Press Ups (6sets x 10reps)
• Bicep Curl (3sets x 10reps) 
• Tricep Curl (3sets x 10reps)

Abs

• 10 sets (20 SB sit ups + 20 SB sit twists with 6kg bar)

Leg Weights

• Leg Press:  6 reps x 80/90/100/110/120/130/140/150kg
• Leg Ext: 6 reps x 40/50/50/50/55kg

Cool Down

• 2 mile road run.  Av HR 148bpm, Av Pace 9:24 min/mile (quicker than marathon pace)

It was a good workout but there's no doubt I could feel the legs.

I could definitely feel them on Friday morning.  So much so that I was back on the phone to the physio to tell him I could still feel the legs so I have now got an appointment with him on Monday evening at 5:30pm.  I should then hopefully have some answers.  Whether 12 days will be enough recovery time before Paris, who knows?

I managed only 15 miles and 6 miles in the last two weeks.  Not exactly in the training plan, beginning the taper two weeks early.
