3rd week of training. Felt sense of accomplishment because able to complete the mileage despite 3 hard training per week and one medium long run. It was worrying at the beginning of the week. I tried several ways to assist recovery. 1) Replenish fluid and carbohydrate once finish the run 2) Stretching after the run 3) Cold and warm water shower after run 4) High carbohydrate diet after the run

One of the meaningful training this is for the first time I able to keep on the pace for the 25-k cut down run. I tried a few times before but non of them successful till the end. I guess the hard training help. It might also due to my body has adapted compare to 1 year ago.

Next week will be recovery week after 3 weeks of increasing mileage.
Wish the improvement will continue and don't break it.
