Week 7 Session 3
New day, new target!
After my last performance I wondered how this would pan out, but to help matters along I made sure I ate a couple of hours before and had been drinking regularly all day.
So today was 2 1/4 or 25 mins 5 min warmup walk out of the way off we go. Thankfully I settled into a nice steady pace, no aches or uncomfortable breathing this time. The 1/2 and first mile came and went (checked with my trusty GPS) and still feeling pretty good. 1 3/4 and the legs were starting to ask questions. (like can we stop now) By now I could see my car in the distance and I realised I would run out of road before I finished the planned session. I was to near to miss out so decision made I ran straight past and carried on up the road for that extra distance. 2 1/10th miles saw me turn round and head back. I arrived back at the car legs tired and a little out of breath but overall in pretty good spirits. Another milestone (or a bit further) reached.
Total distance 2.30 miles in 24.20 which makes 10.31 average mile. My previous best had been 11.45 so a double cause for celebration.
