Posting this on a Tuesday as I won't run tomorrow. Last rest day was back on Sunday 24th May and that was the only non running day in past month.
I have been managing the recovery well, mixing up both distance & difficulty ( hilly) with the long tougher training runs followed by some very short ( as low as 3-4 kms).
I usually use the weather as a reason to rest, but we have had some nice autumn, now winter days although some have started out very cold ( -5 degrees, big frosts ). We don't usually get snow, although it's not uncommon once or twice during a winter if there is bad weather front coming up from the south.
This winter is unusually dry, no rain to speak of now for a couple of months.
Nothing much to report with a long weekend just past allowing 75 kms to be done over the 3 days. Not too hilly, no mountain tops this time around.
I have a 6 hour run on the track in Sydney this weekend which will be a few good kms, hopefully, but will result in Friday & Sunday being rest days.
