Did 6.7 miles in total today. I was scheduled to do intervals today, 8 2minute intervals with 2 minute recovery with 2 miles of easy running on either side. I realised the intervals would cover a lot of distance so I cut short the warm up (its really warm here so no problem) did the intervals which hurt, a lot, thankfully managed to find a loop where I would predominantly be running into the breeze to try to keep cool. I found the last four easier than the first four which was odd but my legs were tired from last nights ride. Unusually I walked for about 20 seconds each recovery but this made sure I got fluids in easily. Not sure how far I ran to "cool down" (ha ha) but I think it was over 1 mile. Thinking of doing 6 x 3 mins with 3 min recoveries next week, now that will hurt. Due to my extra weekend run this has been my highest mileage week ever with just over 24 miles.
I'm loathe to dig out my shorts and sleeveless tops as the weather has been unseasonably warm here and the minute I get them out there will be a cold snap.
