    Today was the first session of 'quality' work after finishing the 8-week fitness programme.

    Obviously, it has to be eased into to minimise risk of injury, but the planned session was a 3 x 1 mile. With a 10 mile run on Sunday and a 10 mile walk yesterday I was very cautious with these reps, but nonetheless pleased with the results for a first effort:

    7:35, 7:31 and 7:27 on a 136 pulse suggesting 23:00 5K and 48:00 10K fitness.
    Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
    Blackpool Marathon 11/4/2010 (Target=2:59:59) (6:52/mile)
    Abingdon Marathon 17/10/2010, (Target=2:48:57) (6:27/mile)

  • Managed to up my distance from last Sunday's 8 mile run to a 9 mile run out this week. Managed to do that in one hour and 14 mins so I was quite pleased with that. It's getting cold out there though! Brrr!

    Evening all - yep, it's cold!!! :eek: 5k tonight, really enjoyable run apart from the cold face! 32 mins... soooo close to that 30 min target, I reckon I could knock those couple of minutes off if I didn't have to stop to blow my nose and at a couple of road crossings.

    Just had lovely hot shower and am off to make a big bowl of pasta :D

    Ooh, remembered to check pulse rates this evening - few minutes after running: 102, an hour after running: 78.
