16.6.14 - Recovery and Hayfever

Training summary: Extremely hard going due to the high grass pollen levels. Despite taking the maximum amount of hayfever tablets, I was still finishing any run with red eyes and wheezing! Managed to drag myself through it though to 1x hill running session at St Hans in Lund, some (slower) tempo plus a long run out along the Hardebergaspåret at the weekend, despite it also being quite hot. Still felt tired from the Århus City half and races before, so total rest day on Tues, but still got to the 100km\wk target.
Main sessions: Weds: Hills at St Hans, 6x long, 5x steep. Run around the last part of the SHE course.  Sat: 3.40/km 11km tempo along the Hardebergaspåret; reduced speed due to hayfever. Sun: Long run (23km) at 4.10/km pace along same to Sodra Sandby and back.
Races: None, and happy for it! The MalmoMilen on Sat 14/6 would've been a disaster this year - I struggled with hayfever last time; this year pollen levels were 2.5x higher!
Next week:  Keep dragging myself through it...
