beach runner

As a form of cross training, running is not on the top of my list.

Snowshoeing, stepping, swimming, football, are all more appealing.

But running can be done "anytime, anyplace, anywhere" which makes it a good choice when away from home.

In Whitley Bay for two days.

A big run on Saturday morning. My biggest ever? Headlamp on. Beaches and headlands.

Saturday's training:

Endurance: Run (2h 15, 18 km)

A little tender on Sunday morning. I keep my run down on the beach. 6 laps. I like to find the sweetspot between the soft and compact sand. It's easy to get in the zone here.

Sunday's training:

Endurance: Run (1h 45, 15 km)

Back at home on Monday and Tuesday. 2 × 3h on the turbo trainer.

This is my first "recovery week" in the Annual Training Plan. Only 10 h in total, so rest planned for the next 2 days...

Monday's training:

Endurance: turbo trainer zones 1 and 2 (3h)

Tuesday's training:

Endurance: turbo trainer zones 1 and 2 (3h)

Wednesday: rest day

Thursday: rest day
