Due to fatigue, I failed to complete my 5k time trial on the Monday of this week. I think I was probably trying to do too much. I have been incredibly tired this week from work (7.30am-5.30pm in a dirty office moving stuff is not my idea of fun). However, it got better through the week.
1/8 - The big tennis match - our 1st team trying to get promotion. We needed a draw, lost 5-3. One player pulled out and I ended up losing all four sets with a guy who had just walked off the plane from Spain.
3/8 - 5k @26/27 - 18:27.8. Much better effort - I feel as if I am getting back to full fitness. Even managed a sprint at the end. (This is a 3rd best ever effort).
5/8 - Tennis in the morning, 60' Fartlak in the afternoon. 15,044m. Weights and core.
6/8 - Cycle ride to Teynham via Upchurch. 2h06:39, with the normal Upchurch ride section taking 1h14:44. 10k @20 in 39:53.7. Weights (did 3*10*150kg on the leg press, 3*10*60kg on the extensions) and core.
I have just under two months to improve. I want to get inside 18 minutes for 5k, which should begin to give me the base for a 6.40-6.50 2k effort. I will not fail through a lack of determination.
