Good running this week at chez cookiemonster
Little monster managed to crack 12 minutes with an 11:50 something at the junior 2k parkrun this morning. Not at all bad for a 5 year old. He left one of his schoolmates dads behind. He’s gets the concept of pacing - takes it easy at the start then picks through the field in the first half lap, and really hunkers down for the last up hill bit when he’s tiring. #prouddad
And I feel I’ve got on top of training efforts with an 8x800 on Tuesday, two 6 mile easy runs Wednesday and Thursday; 6 miles Saturday with 2 x 2 miles at 20s over target 10k race pace, and 10 miles today at reasonable aerobic pace.
It’s taken me a while to gauge, firstly what repeatable paces are in a given session, and then to understand what repeatable sessions are in a given week or weeks. I’ve dialed back the mileage and brought down the interval pace and I feel like I’ve got to something that gives solid training efforts without grinding me down
