Usual Monday recovery day with a short jog down to the river from work. Stood in the cool waters of the Murrumbidgee River for 12 minutes, excellent. A sore right shin has reappeared from Saturday night on the mountain. Nothing serious but it's there, so I stayed on the soft grass.
You can read anything into the figures above if you don't know the story behind them.
Take this month of April. Three hundred plus kms in 15 running days at an average just under 21 kms. Looks good until you extract the one big total of around 157 kms, the rest of the month is very low.
Always dig deeper if you want the real story. April had one highlight, and the rest is either tapering or recovery.
Reasonably happy with the 4 month total for this year. My long term ( past 14 years) monthly average is 314 kms.
Other than current shin soreness, no other problems that this present easy time won't fix, then back into the training with Caboolture in mind.
