c25kDidn't manage to run at the weekend, because I was having a slightly complicated life. But today it was perfect weather to run in the park, sunny and breezy and cool but not cold. I did the full 5 km again without a break, my time was slightly faster than last week at 46'20''.
My lungs and feet and major leg muscles were fine, the main thing that felt as if it was holding me back was slightly "tight"-feeling calves, which isn't an issue I've had before. I think for my longer runs I'm struggling to find a pace anywhere between almost too easy, ending up with very slow times though it certainly does make the running a lot less unpleasant, and pushing myself too much so I'm completely puffed and have to give up before the end. I hope that if I keep doing it I'll gradually build up my fitness and my comfortable slow pace will gradually get faster; it was still certainly cardio-vascular effort and more so than brisk walking.
