So here we are again! One week of training completed and I am still willing to keep going! The training week went okay between wet days and sore legs from cycling. I commute into work, a round trip of just under 10 miles a day so I do worry about the state of my legs this training session. But a brief break down!
Runs scheduled: 4
Completed: 3
Monday: 3 miles easy
Wednesday: 5 miles of tempo running (3miles at 8:24minmiles)
Thursday: 4 miles easy (FAILED)
Saturday: 5 miles long run
So all my runs that I completed were doing really well. I was quite happy with them and glad that my legs could keep going! Monday was hard as I started my run right after my cycle. So I was a bit jelly-like to start with (the same thing will happen tonight I'm sure). Wednesday was a little boring to start with as I was on the treadmill but I got through it. Thursday failed as I was tired and I had a dinner to make for my friend (bad excuses). Saturday's run was nice as the first 2 miles were with Reis and then I finished the last 3 along the Grand Union Canal which I got lost on and was a little muddy. Great to find out about my surrounding area though!
On top of these sessions I did a little spot of yoga on Tuesday morning which I really want to keep up. And also my cycling into work. I did feel quite tired Friday night from that and had a complete rest day on Sunday from any high intensive work out. We went for a nice gentle 5 mile walk to loosen our legs which was nice.
Total mileage and time
Cycling: 54.8 miles (5hours 58 minutes)
Running: 13.8 miles (2hours 6 minutes)
This week starts session 2 which will increase the mileage again. I hope to get all my sessions done but will see. Starting with a 4 miles easy tonight. :)

P.S. Saturdays run was dedicated to Meg who was hit by a drunk driver last Monday while out running.
