wk11 'the plan' round up

just 2 'long' runs this week but feel good. am a little slower and a bit heavier but that's something i can change. going to start back on the actual plan, as if nothing has happened. luckily next week is an easy week!

looking at others weekly mileage mine is/going to be much lower, as are my long runs much shorter. i'm going to ignore this and just hope that my very steady build up is going to work for me.

trainer tune: gil scott-heron - who'll pay reparations on my soul

Well done Kate. Hope the leg is feeling better.

Not sure what others you are looking at. If it's me then remember this is my fourth year of doing the whw and I've built up my weekly mileage year on year.

In my first year I ran 4 times a week and averaged nearer 40 miles a week.

You need to find what you can cope with. Learn from others but do what's best for you.

Hi Kate,
I just saw the comment you left for RunningBear and thought I would take a look at your blog. I love the name it is very charming...it made me smile. Also, you have some great pictures:) I will have to go back and read some of your earlier posts!

I don't think you should take the drugs pharmashack's offering....look what happened to Gil Scott-Heron. Great that you are running again....you must be relieved/happy to have got over fatleg. Were you getting fatleg and fartleck mixed up??!!??

Great blog! - just came across it thanks to the wonders of Google. Good luck with your race, have you ever thought about the Kepler Challenge?!! (NZ)

You know what you need to do. Look at your training for 24hr bike races and see if you think you are doing similar with the running.

Glad you are back on track! I think you dealt with the injury well, way better than I could have done!

kate said...

elsie- hey there, the kepler looks pretty tough. that's a high hut!! are you training for it?

trio- thanks, think i could have dealt with it a bit better, but i know for next time! and as for training for 24hr....erm... ;)

Kepler is a bit beyond me at the moment, but have just done this:
Alpine Classic - cannot recommend it highly enough. Hope to do this, maybe Jan 2011 - Bogong to Hotham. Keep up your blogging - inspirational!
