Sore quads

Funny training week this week - suffered a viral gastro in the first half of the week which didn't really affect my running but left me with fatigue the rest of the time, and i had nasty quad soreness persisting all week, which seemed out of proportion to my flat fast finish 30k last Sunday - not sure if the virus exacerbated this.

Monday 12k easy @4:47
Tues am 16k with 8k at tempo (3:49)
Tues pm 7.25k recovery @ 4:41
wed 21.3k@4:29
Thurs pm 10k recovery @4:48
Fri am 21k@4:35
Sat am 14k@4:36
Sun am 31k@4:39

Nothing much to remark on the runs beyond the first paragraph. All were dominated by sore quads but I was able to run through this. This mornings long run with Rob was along part of the Perth marathon course and a nice comfortable pace.

In the end, 132k for the week - getting it done

    Great mileage.

    Do you usually go for sports massage? I am a big fan of massages and will have one every 2 weeks.

    Sling - I've never had a sports massage.I think i have personal space issues - don't like anyone touching me (other than my wife!)
