This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A fairly good tempo

22M double; medium-long crescendo/tempo & recovery run
15M am incl 11M crescendo at 5.45-5.10min/M
7M pm recovery run

I had to really drag myself out of the front door this morning for this one. I was sleepy tired rather than physically tired, but I really wasn't relishing this. I ran gently down to work to drop off my bag and then picked up the pace as I headed down to the river and along to Battersea Park and back. As usual, the initial pick up in pace left me struggling to get the Garmin down to something half decent, before things got a bit easier. By the middle of the run I felt pretty good, cruising along at about 5.25min/M without too much of a push. Somehow though, I ran out of oomph a bit right at the end and my last mile started promisingly (just above 5min/M) and then fizzled out. I probably pushed too hard. And it is only 36 hours since my K reps. I had a headache by the end of my day at work and ran home very gently.
