End of a week that saw a pretty underwhelming attempt at 70km, and one quality session missed. That said, I feel refreshed after a week of feeling totally wrecked and tonight's run felt smooth and easy. Achilles was much better than last week too.

Well, the week hasn't gone to plan, but not to worry.
Tuesday was a planned rest day, and I was still shattered on Wednesday and couldn't get away from work in the afternoon, before an evening presentation to new parents at work.
Thursday was still struggling and went to bed at 8:30pm then had to get up at 5am for a 6am start at work on Friday. Thought about trying to get a quality session in on Friday evening and another one on Sunday, but was feeling knackered and like I have been fighting off a cold that has been running through the family.
In bed at 8pm and after 13 hours sleep, I felt a fair bit more normal.
Evening session, starting at 7:30pm.
15 min easy, 5 x (5tempo:1 easy), 1 hour easy.
Good to have that one in the bag. It wouldn't have fitted in before work anyway.
Second quality session for the week will go down the toilet, but such is life. If I can get the next 4 weeks done, things will be looking pretty good for the marathon.
