I've been for a run!!!
Well went down the canal thinking less fumes easier breathing and with this cough thing lingering easier breathing was what I needed! It seems it was national walk down the canal smoking day and bonfire day! So every time I passed someone I got a lung full of smoke and had a splutter!
I did an unstructured walk run making sure runs were good form and therefore faster than my normal plod. My breathing was very laboured and there was a few cough splutters (Mr Swan and his 3 cygnets didn’t like me doing that!) but I wanted to be out there! I knew it wasn't going to be a good run so wasn't put off or fed up by having to walk run, the time or pace.
Still when I was running it was good … GPS foolishly thinks my runs were sub 10:30 pace best pace 8:51! LOL! So wrong! Maybe sub 11 but that’s not the point I wasn't there for pace I was there to get moving!
Anyway got out, got moving, (2.2m) and blew away some cobwebs and work stresses which was the plan.
My 5k is soon so getting moving is what it's all about.
Once that's over I will only have a matter of a week maybe two before working life changes! Because of that and my tendancy to plod I'm going to go backwards a full 4 years! I've copied the RW beginner plan which is 6weeks long. It's walk run and covers 5k. I'm going to follow that ... to the letter for 6weeks. The idea is to get out and do something when I may be tired and headachey and to actually RUN not plod. The idea is this will help break me of my plod pattern so I can start to run properly.

I've a bit of a theory about how to *run* and not *plod*.
So when I see you next I'll talk to you about it
:o)

good luck with it
V-rap it's only 3 runs a week and even I can manage that I think!!
SNG I'm hoping it works! My 4yr running history has been endurance and distance and never speed so I am sooo slow! When I do try and see lower figures it's encouraging!
how did that double post thing happen?
Is all better than sitting on bottom however.
Going back to basics sounds like a great plan, and you'll be great in the 5k I know (the one I'm not doing...yes I know:-))
