I only just realised that it is now Tuesday and I have not reviewed my training from last week! At least on the Jantastic website you have until 8am Tuesday to log the runs from the previous week, so I am sort of in time with that!
But first, look at what came in the post!
Some super soft Thoosa t-shirts from their sale. They are cotton so not for running, but rather for relaxing in after my weekend runs 🙂
Back to the review:
Monday- 4.3 miles after work.
Tuesday- Rest day.
Wednesday- I gave Sweatshop a miss and headed out as soon as I got home. Partly because I will be missing the next 2 weeks (due to late meetings at work and then being away), partly because I knew I would be on my own at the back, and mostly because it was raining hard and I wanted to get it over with! In the end I did just under 4.5 miles- I was only going to do 3.5 but when I got close to home I felt OK and it wasn’t raining, so I carried on. Forgot about the headwind though so the last half mile was tough when I had to turn and run into it!
Thursday- Went to Pump. No luck missing the lunges this week, we had to do all the tracks!
Friday- Rest day
Saturday- Originally I was going to do 11 miles on my own, but then Andy suggested we go out on Sunday morning together. So then the idea of Parkrun crept into my head. It was the off-road route which I had not done before- people were talking (actually shouting to each other) during the run briefing, but it was also very windy so it was hard to hear. Once they started, I had to jog over to the run director and ask her the route, well more specifically how many laps I would have to do (3). It was much tougher than the normal flat route, fun, but also very tough as in parts the mud was very slippery.
My shoes were happy to get some real mud on them!
Sunday- 11 miles. Funny story. You can read about it here.
I was going to do some yoga on Sunday evening but I was really tired and just did not have the energy. After sitting for a while at Andy’s parents my legs really stiffened up, and I thought I would be really stiff and sore on Monday, but in fact I felt OK. I kept Monday as a rest day as I don’t want to push it and run 3 days in a row (well it would have been 4 as I was going out on Tuesday).
Anyway, the next stage of Jantastic is logging the length of your longest run- I had selected 11 miles so hit it right on the head. Next week optimistically I opted for 12 miles so we shall have to see how I manage that.
How is it going for any fellow Jantasticans?
After you mentioned the Thoosa sale i bought the Run, eat, sleep, repeat thshirt! 🙂
I love their stuff and was very excited when I saw those t-shirts- took me ages to decide which ones to buy!
Great training! I had a 100% score for Jan, but I had to play a joker last week thanks to my calf injury and it’s not looking good for this week either 🙁
But you are better to rest and hope it heals quickly- at least they have the joker so you can rest for a bit and still be fine with your training.
Wooohoo for good training 🙂 Despite the weather!! I get my runs done in the morning usually and I just have to throw myself out there before I change my mind. Really I have no choice because I don’t look at the weather before I get ready and by the time I open the door to go it’s too late to change my mind hehe.
I would love to go out before work but I don’t run fast enough plus my hair takes too long to dry- would have to be out running at 5 which is a bit early!
Those tshirts look great, very you!
Thanks 🙂 love them!
Great training, so impressive to go out in the rain, that’s normally my first excuse!!!
Thanks 🙂 Its not so bad once you are out.
