Slightly further than intended as I got a bit lost but still feeling good.

Taking the hamstring niggle last week as a bit of a wake up call to not get too greedy. After last year and the injury hit start of winter I think I succummed to the thinking of 'if I did 10 hours of running a week last year, I'll be even better on 11 hours this year'. It wasn't a big increase and I did think I was being pretty sensible but I think I've been using the mileage/hours target more like an accelerator rather than a brake. Striving to acheive a weekly total rather than a sign of when to reign things in. I'm going to try to reframe things and try to get back into the groove I was in last year - sustainable balance of volume and intensity - keeping in mind the lessions learnt regarding realistic racing schedules..
