After the North Lakes 10k, I stuggled big time at speedwork, feeling extremely tired and unable to get any spring or drive from my legs. Abandoned plans to race the Brisbane 10k and Bridge to Brisbane. It is quite clear to me from my times in training and racing that I have "gone over the top" after being at or close to my peak for almost four months from the beginning of May.
With cochlear implant surgery booked for October 8th and a mandatory one week period of no running to follow, I decided there was little point in freshening up with a view to attacking another race in the short term. Instead, I have decided to enter a recovery training phase which will also serve as a base training phase for 2010 with a lot of comfortable easy paced runs. I am not doing speedwork, nor am I cranking up the pace on Wednesday runs. Sunday long runs have been reduced to 90 minutes in some instances. Hopefully, the body will appreciate the break from the harder stuff and the fitness will benefit from the base phase after surgery. Since North Lakes, mileage has been as follows:
Week of Mon 17 Aug - 8 sessions, 89k
Week of Mon 24 Aug - 7 sessions, 77k
Week of Mon 31 Aug - 6 sessions, 65k
Week of Mon 7 Sept - 8 sessions, 77k
Week of Mon 14 Sept - 6 sessions, 48k
Week of Mon 21 Sept - 8 sessions, 77k

Try my recovery phase , no running for 3 months . Have dusted my malvern star off though. Best wishes for the cochlear I'm sure it will be great...I once had shares in that company...I sold and made money but I should have hung on to them...hindsight is a wonderful thing.
It is obvious to me that you were just tired from all the late night activity that is normal for a newly wed!!! Now that the evidence is in the oven we can all agree :)
Hope to see you out on the road some time soon but best make that ear your top priority for now...and the pregnant wife!!!!

My friend and I were recently talking about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about every once in a while.
