Head spinning, bad week

School's back, and I haven't adjusted.

Bad week for training - hoipefully can get back on track this week.
Monday - easy run through Newport + lakes. Good consistent effort, just over 4:00 m/km. 8.25 kms
Tuesday - Mona Fartlek on treadmill. 26 minutes of effort + 5 min. w/u + 5 min. c/d. 9.28 kms total - big effort, really struggled.
Wednesday - Friday: Off. Tried to find time to run, was mentaly buggered and trying to find balance between work & school. Friday morning I thought my head was exploding and woke up with a killer migraine and didn't make it to school (or the doctors for that matter), and knocked myself out with a dose of Panadeine Forte - god that stuff is strong.
Saturday - still feeling ordinary, I jumped on the wind trainer and did some spinning for 35 minutes + abs & weights. Managed to beat the heat.
Today - wanted to run very early, but didn't get out till 7:30. Ran 8.83 kms in 36:19, with a bit more effort in the last 5 minutes or so. HR to 155.

I may try a Mona Fartlek on the treadmill subject to my productivity with schoolwork, but a 26km week just isn't good leading into a marathon, but it's time to begin to strike the balance again.
