This time next week and I will be on my last day at work! Yippee! Not that I am counting!
I'm looking forward to the challenges and the changes ahead ... I think I need it becuase at this moment in time I feel like my brain is slowlt dripping out of my ears!
Last night we had a "not quite left" leaving meal ... a very nice curry with just a few friends from work. It was nice to have a giggle and a bitch!
Today I feel just slightly err larger and intend to go for a run at lunch!
Lunchtime Edit
So my last two runs have been less than pleasing so today I decided that I would step back and repeat Tuesdays 3:3 rather than pushing ahead. I continued to think about this idea as I trotted today and I have decided that I will repeat this 3:3 for another couple of runs until I am feeling totally comfortable and the pace is consistent and ideally about the 10mm pace.
Today's run was so much better than Tuesday! The pace was better and more consistent across the whole run. Like before I didn't do the 4 sets but 5 (then 90 extra seconds cos I miss counted!). As before I still had the tight calves but not as bad as there were on the last two runs. This is something that I need to speak to the clever people about and if anyone in blog land want to comment then that's just great!
Since I started the walk run thing I have been running my run slots at arround 10mm pace. The shorter ones (1 or 2mins) where under 10mm pace and now they are 10-11mm pace. When I was doing the shorter runs up to the 2R:4W session I had no tightness. My two slow but continuous runs at the weekend again no tightness. This week were the run has stepped up to 3+mins and the walk reduced to 3mins I have had tightness. So is this the weekend's efforts or body adjusting to faster running?
So again I started with a 5mins walking warm up before I changed to the run:walk part of my plan. As I've already mentioned my planned pace is to try and stay on or arround the 10mm pace. I want to be able to get to the stage where I can run for, say, 30mins at that pace without walking before I embark on a plan for Brass Monkey. I would like a stonking PB there seeing as it is a PB course!
