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

Week 5 of my half marathon training plan
Running has been a struggle this week. Lack of time, long-haul travel, and jetlag are all contributing to increased fatigue. I kind of saw it coming last Sunday, so eventually, it was a good idea not to progress with my next training week but to do the same three out of the five runs I did last week.

Running has been a struggle the first two days of this week. I’m dealing with some fatigue, which is putting me back a bit on my planned speed runs. As an alternative, I completed a 33-minute recovery run today. I will complete another recovery run on the treadmill tomorrow morning, depending on how my travel goes tonight.
