Disaster. After a solid National the plan for the big mileage week has catastrophically failed to materialise. Despite feeling pretty relaxed with the standard 4 lap spa session on Sunday evening through until 20:00 (sauna, grade 1 and 2 steam, Turkish bath, and plunge x3) ... that didn't hold later into the evening. Felt overcome with tiredness around 11pm and had a poor night's sleep, constantly waking, sweating, alot ...
Monday-Friday not great. Typical sinusitis symptoms, pain above and below the eyes, ear ache, head ache, shivery etc ... not great. Complete loss of all sense of taste and smell (anosmia). But guess it could be worse. Today (Saturday) feeling a little more sprightly and may get out for a light jog. Its the Finchley 20 a week Sunday so I need to be better for that.
Perhaps its no bad thing getting this week of basically nothing in? Not sure about that one. But maybe.
