Week 29 - Easy going

The first and second week after my European race season, the intensity of my workouts is quite low. Right now, I`m purely running/training for fun. The mileage is currently around 40+ miles a week (65-70 km) and the majority is focusing on aerobic work.
My motivation and drive will come back as soon as I have committed myself to train with a new group and successful coach. Next to that, I`m (partially) disappointed that people started to form an opinion (and releasing it in the press) of what went wrong without contacting me or my (former) team. Close friends were asking me why I trained less. Apparently, they read an article that clearly stated that I did not train enough in the States. The opposite is true: I trained too much and was probably missing some essential workouts prior to my race season. Nevertheless, it is time to move on!
