1) just because it is really cold outside does not mean you need to run faster
2) do not pay attention to road side adverts
3) maybe, just maybe it's worth paying attention to hints from your body
Shall I explain??
1) Ok so the weather man said 3, wind chill -3. I plan ahead and layer up. Get outside and think "hmmm slight chill in the air" and off I go ..... 10:30-11mm pace. 5mins in and schedule says 1min walk, walk to traffic lights and stretch against them. Cross road and carry on. Stretch again (remind myself about slower warm up to wake legs up preventing sore shins/calves thanks to tight muscles.)
Cross next road. Stop stretch. Look up ...
2) see road side advert for some beer .... "Go that Extra Mile!" was the wording. So off I go again. Again I go off at 11mm pace ish. 5mins later I'm stopping for another stretch and a walk and changing steady run into a walk/run/trot/thump "at least I got out there" session.
Finally no.3
This week I ran Tuesday to clear a stinking headache. I rested Wednesday (stinking headache and stuffy nose) hardly sleep Wednesday night (head hugger night!). Rest Thursday as now knackered and bleurgh. This morning nose bleed. Get to work and nose bleed.
Do you think my body was saying something I should have listened too!!
So the result was 3.5m in about 48mins but hey it was a low HR base training style session almost and I did stetch the legs, and get out in the lovely fresh air! So not al bad I guess!
