A fortnight ago I logged and blogged about hockey training. No idea how far I actually travelled on that occasion. Over the past 2 weeks I've being playing with my pedometer. They are not accurate I know but the last 2 runs I've done it's been within 10% (both times under) of my mapped distance so it's as good as accurate for me. I'd prefer to under rather than over estimate anyway. So, an hour of hockey training is equivalent to 2.1miles of running. It was bl**dy freezing tonight and the astroturf was really icy, I was amazed no twisted ankles occured!
Yesterday I ran 5.3 miles in that time, is this really a good use of precious janathon minutes?? yes it is! I've been reading about rest days and training regimes a bit more today. I must have one day completely without exertional exercise per week to rest my muscles.... I hope the little bit of extra cycling on Monday counts as a rest day... Might struggle to do much tomorrow as have a busy day at work and the usual out for band before 7. Hopefully I will be getting my car back (some idiot smashed into it before Christmas) tomorrow or Friday which will take up precious running time too.
Have a game on Sunday and sunshine forecast fro Saturday so can definitely try for that 5mile in 50 minutes then. Might keep tomorrow and Friday for time trials!
