My birthday has messed up my training schedule this weekend, starting with no run home after parkrun on Saturday. It would have been rather a long way, and anyway, as I was going out for the afternoon and evening I only had time for a short warm-down jog. Then no long slow run on Sunday as I was busy with family most of the day (and slightly overhung) then in the evening I was in the pub.
As I got home this morning and had the day off, I slotted in a longish run - 7½ miles, mainly on trails and through parks. I could feel Saturday's hills in my calves, but was fairly comfortable averaging 8 minute miles.
I've had to rearrange the rest of the week too, as I'm racing on Thursday evening, so it's three 5km races in eight days - Roundhay parkrun, BRAT Rowheath Mid-Summer 5km and Cannon Hill parkrun. Tomorrow would normally be intervals, but I'm calling Thursday's race my speed session, and resting on Wednesday, so tomorrow I'll do Wednesday's run, and I'll call it a tempo session!
