Recovery week

Well after the Noosa Half, I had my usual week off speedwork that is the norm for me after a Half Marathon. Not surprisingly, I had considerable DOMS and much of the week was spend doing easy recovery runs. I also threw in about four 9-10 hour sleeps to assist the body's recovery.

On Sunday, it was time for my body to once again answer the call and I joined Glenda, Mike H and Wayne. 170 minutes was on the agenda and it went surprisingly quickly once the last hour arrived. Most of the run was done about 4:50 pace with some 4:40 pace in the middle and towards the end. The legs were still pretty tired and didn't want to go and I had to concentrate on pushing them a little at times. Backed up with an easy 30 minutes at twilight.
