Firstly many apologies for not posting in ages, oh many things work, been quite busy really. Hopefully will get back to this
The weather is totally atrocious today plenty of rain high wind this is supposed to be summer
Anyway ankle is much improved now and have done runs on it up to 66 minutes, i am looking to work my long run up to 2 hours. Some people may wonder why and persuade me not to run this far as its not needed but looking back to 2005, my best year to date when i got pbs in 5k and 10k this is what i did on the weeks i wasn’t racing. Its really finding what works for you i would manage about 11 miles in those 2 hours.
Did another 5km at the end of last month weather wasn’t too good i had only about 3 weeks training post ankle and was hoping to get round in 28 minutes so i tried to keep it steady and run at that pace from start to finish. I finished in 28:15 so wasn’t too bad. This month however i caught a bad cold, it always goes to my chest so following the below the neck rule i abstained from running one of these days i’ll survive a whole month without some mishap. I had about a week off altogether.
Last week i managed about 20 miles, have done the same this week so far!!!!
Next week i’m back for another 5km, so will see how i do, have started to do part of some of my runs @ race pace may talk more about that later. So far so good
As for the weight i’m down to 9st 9½lb so a little lighter (down from 10st 4lb at the highest) so hoping i’ll be a little quicker next friday
