Burnt Out

Michael and I believe my recent not-so-decent 10km timing at the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon is an indication of a burnt out. I had been training and eating well leading to the run and yet came back at 57:55 minutes – sure, it was faster than the 56:03 minutes at the Adidas Sundown (on a min/km basis) but I thought I could do better. Perhaps it was one of those s***ty days. He suggested I take a week off (apparently the guide is 1-2 weeks off after every 3-4 months of hard training) but we came to a middle-of-road solution i.e. cut back on the cardio sessions this week before calling for more “drastic” cuts.

So it was back to legs today after a 2-day layoff but we only did 2 of that this morning.
