Weekly summary - 11 weeks to go

An easier week, but with a killer mile reps session run at 5k pace.

After last weekend I was feeling very tired, not helped by having lost a bit of sleep and not being able to have the lunchtime naps I'd become used to on my hols. After feeling wacked out on the Tuesday night run I decided a rest day was called for on Wednesday so that I could attack the mile reps.

I pulled my week back together quite well.

As I write this I've had another rest day to make sure I'm on top form for a midweek 5k, then it's back to full mileage.
