Week 4 complete

[liv]

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.

That all sounds really positive, "hard work but not painful" is surely what we're aiming for.

I find myself adjusting my playlist fairly often - the shorter time of week 3 merited a small change and the longer time for week 4 meant a little overhaul too. I also don't want to imprint on only a few songs for running to, so I will probably change it out again by week 6.
