Week 2, day 1

[rmc28]

I missed my weekend run: I did a walking errand on Saturday that took about twice as long as expected, and wiped me out for the rest of the day, and I felt rotten on Sunday so gave myself the weekend off.

Today I was feeling more like me again and went out for my run in a bright but chilly lunchtime.  I managed today's 90s runs without much difficulty (which is good, I am aiming for "keep it fairly easy" as my workout level at the moment) and covered a bit more distance, as expected given 1 minute more running and 30s more workout overall.

I considered trying to "catch up" my missed run by going M,W,F,Su,Tu,Th, but right now I think it's more important to establish the habit at all, and not find it too strenuous.  So next run: Thursday.

5K: 39'48''

Today I tried running at 8 kph, and that definitely is too fast to be sustainable for me still, it wasn't just a case of don't wanna. So I did alternating kilometres, 1K at pace and 1K at 7 kph. That felt about the right amount to push myself for now, and gave me a total time of just under 40 minutes. I think next time I will try to do 10 minute intervals, which at this pace is quite a bit more than kilometres, but it's a reasonable increment to aim for, I think.
