Training Week 8/12/13

Legs started off a little tired from last week and the big ride on Sunday.
8/13/13 - Ran the 6 mile loop in 41:28 and then did a 1.5 mile cool down.
8/14/13 - Ran 8.15 at the cove.  Road in, songbird, Tuck a way, and 4 gorge.  We hit it hard and did an average of 8:10/mile.
8/16/13 - marked and ran the Fab 5k course.  5 miles of jogging and walking, 8 miles or bike riding, and 3.1 of racing with a 19:05.
8/18/13 - Ran 15.3 at the cove.  Road to Buck, fire road to the Drop, Comet, Enchanted forest, Little Bell, Arrowhead, Songbird and out on the road.
Total for the week; 38.95 running and 8 on the bike

I'm feeling pretty tired.  Race week is always hard on me.  Not only does my training suffer but the stress level is higher than normal which effects both my sleep and recovery.

I did tally up my training log and noticed that at the end of July I had 1203 miles which comes out to a 40 mile per week average and the most I've had at this time of year.  I'm on the verge of getting on a training plan which will include some speed work but I have to get through and recover from the 8/31/13 Iron Mtn 30 miler.
