My last couple of weeks of training have felt disappointing.  I missed my scheduled exercise each Thursday.  The first time, I rationalised that it was good to have an easier week to help with recovery.  The second time, I was being a bit lazy.  Particularly this last week, the mid-week exercise has felt disappointing.  I struggled to complete the half hour row on Tuesday: it was just uncomfortable to sit that long while rowing!  I don't know why this happened, I have usually had no issues with this.  On my Wednesday run, I felt a bit dizzy and had to walk for a section of the Greenway.  However, I finished strongly on that run.  It has been inconsistent.

I had an ok weekend of runs: a reasonably fast 5km on Saturday and a good 19.7km on Sunday (at around 5.2 min/km pace).  My schedule says I should be running 120 mins next Sunday.

I suspect that I am eating too much.  I'll try to keep an eye on this and not succumb to snacking.
