Yesterday was a real rest day, sleeping in a doing nothing. A bit of a struggle to get to sleep last night. Again nothing unusual about that with sore legs & an active mind recounting the previous day's activities.
However, that is now old news. The recovery process is the main focus with 2 months & a week until Coburg 24 hour. Plenty happening between now and Saturday 13th April, so not having any running problems to hinder the preparations will help.
This morning I rode the mountain bike to work, about 4.5 kms, felt Ok.
Split shift break at work so I ventured out for a short jog to see how I had pulled up after the long run.
Energy levels down, still tired, but legs Ok. Bike home for lunch, no problems here either as this is the main recovery process I use after ultra events.
Car back to work via Pine Is to stand in the river for 15 minutes. Water levels are falling due to lack of rain, so the area to stand in is now much deeper & the water is colder. Really good immediately after getting out, but it draws out any soreness and the legs were tender for the rest of the afternoon.
Exactly as expected, I know what is going to happen and it's all good.
The right decisions now are important to not get any setbacks as the recovery should take about 2 weeks of easy running & biking. After that, I can increase back into training mode ready for a longer & completely different type of ultra.
Similar type of day tomorrow, then see how it's going.
