Week 4 Day 2

[rmc28]

Success!

Went out last night at about 9pm and was slightly worried that it would be too cold, but in fact it was fine.  I think this is the first time I really enjoyed the session.  When I started the first run it all felt fluid and right in a way I didn't expect.  I still got out of breath, sore in the legs, slightly stitchy at one point, but I came back home feeling relaxed and exercise-happy.

I ran noticeably less far than on Sunday and RunKeeper recorded a slower pace, but the session felt much better.

Week 4 complete

Dragged myself out to the gym in truly horrible weather. Repeated the workout as on Monday, but with the last 5 minutes at a more challenging though doable 7 kph. This didn't make my total distance measurably greater, but still, solid 3km.

I listened to music this time, mostly 80s electronica stuff which has a strong beat and which I like, though I'm not quite sure I've got my playlist exactly right. The whole workout felt like hard work, but not actively painful, so I think I will try moving right up to week 5 and not repeating this set to get my pace up.
