c25kWe were away Saturday to Sunday this weekend, and for a variety of reasons, running on Saturday morning before we went was not practical. What I should have done, was do it Friday after work, even though I try to avoid doing it after work if I can. I go for Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. I'm part-time and Wednesday is my day off so it's only Monday where I have to do it in the afternoon. But anyway, I did it Sunday after we got home and that was fine.
But then I didn't want to mess up the schedule for all of this week by not lining it up with Wednesday.
To make a long story short (or a short story long whichever way you look at it), I have today discovered exactly why it is there's supposed to be a day's rest in between, especially when you are a beginner like me. Oh gosh.
I made it, but my thighs were protesting wildly the whole time and there was not much in the way of speed in general. I didn't get nearly as far before hitting the halfway point either, and the app still signalled 'workout ended' before I was back home.
But at least I did it. Scared to look at the run for next time... For the first time I'm considering a repeat.

Partly because I'm a bit scared of injury or long-term wear on my joints, and partly because I need to promise myself that a successfully completed run always means at least one day off!

The risk of having it peter out on my increases greatly with each skip, so I'm reserving those for when it's really really necessary. Like a 40°C fever or an earthquake or something. :p
