I just did a 5k speed play this morning and as expected,
turned out to be sore but satisfying. I
did manage to reach sub-30.
I am doing a little reading again on different training
plans. I feel the need to do a
structured approach on this coming in to week 4. Although I have been doing LSD for the past 3
weekends, I feel it is not enough or am I just too eager to get back into
shape?
The eagerness helps a lot in making me get out of bed in the
morning. It also keeps me driven to do
that extra push when I feel I should stop.
So far the sore hammy I have right now made me aware of my limits. I will give this a rest tomorrow and do easy
runs on the rest of the weekday runs just to be sure.

Going back to the running plans, I will do my LSD this
weekend within the correct measure at 70-80 percent (as opposed to last LSD’s
84% average). I will also look into
giving that 10% increase in mileage.
Cross train on the bike at an easy stroll.
Let’s see how this goes.
