The main feature of this week was the extreme heat. Due to my various family and social activities of the week, I was rarely able to keep out of the heat and often ran during the heat of the day. My Saturday long run was particularly uncomfortable. Looks like I should get a few days now of cloud cover, so hopefully can start to feel a bit more comfortable.
I should now be feeling fresh, but I'm not. I confess I'm not looking forward to next week, which is quite a high mileage week - over 60 miles. If I can get through the planned mileage, it will be my highest mileage week ever. I have some sore muscles, but (hopefully) nothing too serious. I hope I can keep the motivation going!
| Monday | 0 miles | Gym session - weights, rowing, cross trainer, cycle | |
| Tuesday | 12.5 miles | Slow run | |
| Wednesday | 5 miles | Easy recovery | |
| Thursday | 10 miles | steady run | Hot - felt really tired after a long drive back from family |
| Friday | 5 miles | Easy recovery | |
| Saturday | 14 miles | Slow run | Forced to run in the heat of the day - ouch! |
| Sunday | Rest | Rest, but my second late night in a row, plus alcohol!! | |
| Total | 46.5 miles |

Looks like you need a booster, Susie!
It's hard work running in the hot weather but things are turning cooler now so you'll be fine upping that mileage.
I'm sure 60+ miles in cooler conditions won't feel (much) harder than 46 in the heat...
Just think about how much I'd love to run those miles if things get tough ;-)
Cheers Imski,
I hope your foot gets better soon!
