Recovery for 2010 season


Recovery is a very important part in any training programme. At the end of every season I usually take a short period of recovery which would last between 2 to 3 weeks. This year I decided to take a longer break (4 weeks) but still keep my running going during this period. Then I will include slowing swimming and cycling in the programme. Running tends to be my weakest discipline and I would like to see a solid improvement next year. I haven't yet decided on the my 2010 targets which I shall be putting together soon but one of my main targets is surely the Malta Marathon at the end of February.

Yesterday I took part in the first leg of the MAAA Road Running League. I finished in 18th position with a somewhat slow time of 17mins 25sec. The weather was not great as it was pretty windy but I really enjoyed the competition and the atmosphere.

Soon to follow will be my 2009 Season balance.
