This Kingsday run is the first and only run I can complete this week. I’ve been traveling Europe since last Monday evening, and I’m only home today as I will be going to Berlin tomorrow with my son for a father-son trip.

Week 6 of my half marathon training plan
Week 6 was a good week for running. I slowed down on my longer and recovery runs and intensified my training during my two interval/speed runs. I covered a total distance of almost 28 kilometers this week, more than double that of last week.

I started Easter the right way with two different training sessions on the track before going out for our family Easter brunch.
Training one was about shifting gears between different paces, training two was at recovery pace.

Time to bring back consistency in my running again. I completed a 10-kilometer recovery run tonight and it just felt great.
