GNR 2010 Block 2 Week 3
Having missed Sunday’s long run last week, I spent the week playing catch up again, but I managed to complete the 55 miles I had scheduled.
What’s worrying me is the lack of progress over the last eight weeks. My average pace and heart rate don’t seem to be improving at all. I guess it’s early days and I’ve only been running easy, but I did expect the heart rate to be tumbling by now, even if the pace was constant. I do hope things improve soon, but I can’t help feeling a bit despondent given all the effort I’m putting in.
This week is a step back week, so it’s just 37 miles running. Give those muscles a rest.

No times or heart rates recorded from Thursday as I had to send my Garmin Forerunner 405 back to Garmin Europe since it’s packed up. As you’ll note from other posts on my blog, I’ve had lots of problems with Garmin products. I guess I should have learned my lesson, but at least they’ve agreed to replace the watch. I’m just hoping it doesn’t take them too long.
