Fine line between Fit and Fail
Not feeling too marvelous today.
I went out to Dundee and then Aberdeen in the middle of an electrical storm. It was quite an exhausting drive home as there were lightning strikes going on all around me - 8 of them were scarily close to the car and sent the radio wild.
I ought to be out for a speed session tonight but a combination of tiredness and depression over my 10K performance has put me off going.
Instead I have been dwelling on whether I am capable of this training plan, the prerequisite for the plan was a 10K of 59 mins or under and a 10mile time of less than 1 hr 37mins. At the time I felt capable of a sub 60mins 10K and I hadn't done a 10miler. The next schedule down - "get you round" schedule looked too basic for me so I went for the sub 4 hours 30mins schedule. I now wonder whether it was a good idea or not. I have been consistently 15 minutes out on my times compared to where they predict you should be on the schedule but I have also struggled at times to keep up with the sheer volume of running.
It's too late now to switch the schedules so I will continue with it but I'll have to make sure that I fulfill the quality runs and if necessary shelve some of the extra runs.
