Week 08 - Bad week

From a anaerobic capacity (=ANC) perspective, week 08 will not be remembered as the most efficient nor most contribution one. The 14K easy run workout on Monday evening (travel day), went awesome and the sober morning run on Tuesday went fine as well.

However, after lunch on Tuesday I started feeling not so well. This progressed in a very bad feeling in my stomach towards the end of the evening. After an easy run I got chilly all the way down. A hot tub didn`t help at all. The morning training was skipped, such as the breakfast and lunch. As a result of that, the evening training was also skipped. Same thing applied for Thursday. In the evening, I started feeling better.

As I wanted to be cautious, I didn`t run on Friday as well. The weekend was used to do some recovery (mornings) and longer easy runs (afternoons). The body responded very well on the longer night rests. As such, we start the regular training program of week 9 in Detroit. We completed the week with 80K (49.7 miles), about 30K too short. 

Sportive regards,
