Last week was my easy week of my training for the Highland Fling… I had a good easy end to the week anyway, and I’m up for doing plenty of miles this week now.
Here is what I did last week:
Mon: AM: 5M easy recovery run, PM: Upper weights & Bodypump
Tues: AM: Kettlebell / Rest, PM: Spin & Swim
Wed: AM: Circuits, PM: 5-8M Hills Rest (and Ironing!)
Thu: AM: Lower weights, PM: 60 mins speedwork: 12 min warm up, 12 x 90 secs fast: 90 secs recovery, 12 mins cool down.
Fri: Lower weights
Sat: Long walk… not sure where yet… Gleniffer Braes? West Highland Way? Rest
Sun: Rest (Swimming teaching for 5 hours)
It was a good week although I did miss a few efforts out, I had a bit of a niggle on my leg on Thursday so I thought it was best to rest and it seems to have worked. 
That’s what my easy weeks are for – to get over any niggles or tiredness.
Now here’s the plan for Week 7:
Mon: AM: 5M easy recovery run, PM: Upper weights & Bodypump
Tues: AM: Rest, PM: Swim / Kettlebell
Wed: AM: Circuits, PM: 5M Tempo
Thu: AM: Lower weights, PM: 60 mins speedwork: 10 min warm up, 4 x 5 mins fast: 3 mins recovery, 10 mins cool down.
Fri: Rest
Sat: 5 hour run from Tyndrum (2:30 south and back)
Sun: Rest
I feel pretty tired today, but hopefully an early night and a lie in on Tuesday morning will fix that.
