Saturday 18th woke feeling crap again and ended up lounging all day with the highlight being Milano San Remo. If I could be a pro for 1 day it would probably be to ride this race. Michael Kwiatkowski is now one of my favourite riders after taking out Sagan in that sprint. That was about as enthralling as it gets.
Sunday stood on footie pitches all day in the cold whilst J was with Jack for his rugby tournament against all the toffy schools. Ryder and Lukie both winning handsomely with Lukie reinvigorated.
Monday 20th - started to feel normal again after a week of crap and ran 10k at lunch feeling lethargic and the 3k home from TS. All through last week my knees were aching probably through the lack of running but today with aggressive calf stretching they feel better. I will put last week down to a recovery week with only 65k covered and will hope it gives the body the time for some of the fitness and hard work to sink in with still 5 weeks to go.
Tuesday 21st - tried for the long tempo but I did not have it and also hindered by a strong wind. 10k tempo only in 3.46s. Just need to take it on the chin and go again. Stomach issues are still lingering and was the main reason for me stopping in the end.
Wednesday - ran the commute in as a hilly tempo. 17k in 4.04s in 69 minutes. A small confidence booster but the form is still not coming. Lunch - ran some 3.45 ks and jogged some for 7k. PM - London in lock down with the terrorist attacks. Glad to be home and often run past Westminster at that time of the day. WTF. In fact the only reason I did not run outside today was because the weather was crappy. The London weather for once did me a favour.
