68.5 miles for the week.
Physically its not been a good one. A few niggles and strains resulting in my absence from the start line for Langdale. Probably need a few more easy days... fortunately this next fortnight is extremely busy with work commitments and software training, so will get some forcible rest in comparison to a normal training week (still hopefully 50-60 miles though)
But physical woes aside its been a good week, next year has pretty much taken shape in terms of planned races, and can start planning towards a concerted effort to bring further improvements next year.
In short, a more targeted approach with less "low priority" races...
I've done 17 fell races so far this year... on top of at least half a dozen track races, plus at least half a dozen XC fixtures/Road Relays, i reckon i've done 30 races this year in approx 40 weeks.
Next year i have half a dozen priority races....
Three other fell races which i'd like to perform well in.
Plus another handful of fell races which will be solely preparation for the above.
Probably drop the track completely.
Its still a fair haul once i add in XC fixtures, road relays etc, but it should total approx half the number of races compared to this year.
