I thought I would take a look at my training this week for future reference. The constant mileage on road (rather than my usual trail running or mix of trail / road) is taking its toll on my recovery. I have not done anything more than my usual mileage this week but noticed that my average pace has dropped dramatically. While I usually train around the 6.30 - 6.45mm as a steady pace this week it has dropped down to 7.13 average.
Here is my weekly mileage:
Mon - 10m - Road - 7.12 (av. pace)
Mon - 6m - Road - 7.29
Tues - 6m - Road - 7.30
Tues - 6m - Road - 7.31
Wed - 6m - Road - 7.15
Wed - 10m - XC - 7.26
Thurs - 10m - XC - 6.57
Thurs - 6m - Road - 7.10
Fri - 10m - Road - 6.33
Fri - 10m - Road - 7.00
Sat - 32.24 - Mix - 7.32
Sun - 10m - Road - 6.32
Sun - 6m - Road - 7.34
Total:
Miles: 127.92miles
Average Pace: 7.13
I think the key to maintaining an injury free next couple of weeks is to try and introduce a bit more x country into the weekly mileage as the pounding of the roads does not appear to be doing me any good!
