Week five fatigue

I chatted to someone in the running shop, when I was buying my trainers, about the effects of cycling to work and still sticking to the schedule. The answer always seems to be not to sacrifice any of your training runs. So, unless I wanted to get the tube in everyday or fork out to get my scooter back on the road, I'm just going to have to deal with it.

He did point out, however, that he recently started cycling to work and that, for the first 4 weeks, he was absolutely fine. Week 5 and he was suddenly hit by fatigue. I'm there. It's not a show stopper and the runs are going well, perhaps my body just needs more food to help it recover more quickly. Well, I kicked that off last night by going for a bowl of spag bog followed by a whole pizza and garlic bread. Nice.

Mileage so far this week: Tuesday - 3 miles; Wednesday - 3 miles; Today - planning on 4.
