It's always so busy in the gym on a Monday night... then fine for the rest of the week. Had a slightly tight left calf tonight but it went away after about twenty minutes. Also, my poor long suffering toe is still suffering post-marathon blues and it flares up now and then - it was really aggravating me tonight. After the marathon, I had such an enormous blister on the end of this toe - the one next to my big toe on my left foot - that it looked like it was wearing a crash helmet. It's gone now, but it's still a wreck. Ho hum.

10 minutes crosstrainer
10 minutes step machine
4 x miles at easy pace
6 x sprints

Same as yesterday except last one at 6.53 min mile pace.

I really can't get my head round how people run that fast for any longer than a couple of minutes. And that they probably don't even think it's fast. I thought smoke was going to come off my feet at the end. Maybe one day I'll be able to do that for a whole mile.

Total distance 8k. Forgot my heart rate monitor so don't know about that.
Plus:
20 mins power plate.

I have one more longish slow run to do at this easy pace thing... and then god knows what he's got in store for me after that.

I know, silly isn't he. He's also a weightlifting Pole - right up your street!!!

Yes, no sandals for me just yet. And you'll be lucky to have any toes left at all after your 80-miler.

And as for you up there mister - what then??? Spit it out.
