underdone

i haven't put in the work necessary to perform this weekend but i'm still hoping to have a good time. the north face was always the focus and i guess now is a good time to start preparing for it. does that mean i should forgo the taper and train through this weekends race or not? reduced training loads always mess with my sanity...

running with no watch or gadgets has really made keeping track of my running a somewhat meaningless task but i'll try and put something down from what i can last remember... which isn't a lot!

thursday: workout? - think it was a tempo effort - maybe 6k steady + 5k tempo + 6x200m fast // probably a second run in the morning or afternoon?
friday: slept in again (or did i?) - 2 x 10k runs - 1 easy, 1 tempo
saturday: planned to get out for a longer run but slept in again - 30mins easy at lunch
sunday: thought about running long but tired from the day before - ran workout 4x1km (~3:35/k), 4x500m (~1:40), 4x300m (in 50 something) - didn't feel hard but not really into it

while i haven't been keeping a training log i have been consistent with running between 20-35km per day during the week and except for the weekends not going as planned as i have been busy either working or with children's activities i'm still logging over 100km each week - probably closer to 150km without a long run which i'll start focusing on after six foot...

hopefully i'll have something more exciting to post from race week...

I'll put funds down to say you will have your best 6ft yet because no expectations and pressure. Looking forward to hearing how far in front you were when I get to the finish.
