How are you doing? This week's run is the same run that we did 4 weeks ago. So this week will be a good time for you to take stock of how your training is going. After this week's run, see how you feel compared to 4 weeks ago. See how fresh you are at the end of the run. If you track the time of your runs, how does the time compare.Several things for you to think about. How did the weather compare? Was it cool 4 weeks ago and humid and hot this weekend? How does your nutrition compare to 4 weeks ago? Did you eat anything in the morning before running either week? How as you sleep and rest this week as compared to 4 weeks ago? Did you travel a lot and/or miss some sleep one of the weeks?
Many things impact how you run and the above are just a few. Two point can be taken from this exercise. First, are you keep a training log so you can go back and make this kind of evaluation? Second, this training is not just about training your legs by running. It is also give you a chance to learn how other factor impact your running. For example, what are you eating, if anything, the morning before the run. So people can eat nothing, some can eat a lot. This is the time to be experimenting with what food works best for you.
