10 week average mileage: 120kms or 75 miles
Extra things to note;
Core, strength, foam rolling and stretching sessions: every morning for 10 minutes.
Recovery runs (except Fridays) included a 1km Hot Spot in the middle. This a 1km pick-up done as quickly as possible.
Rest days according to feel.
Weekly average of 120kms or 75 miles.
Ideally I would have preferred to sharpen up more towards the end, but was forced to take extra rest due to shin issues.
