Catching Up...

I just realised I didn't update the blog on Sunday evening's run.
I came home after my workshop, had a cup of tea, and eventually got going for my 2mile run.

As it was already dark, I remained on the well lit streets, especially as the park was anyway close.
Not the nicest environment to run on, but hey, when you have to, you have to.

I was quite surprised, as I was very tired after the long long week, but still managed to run it at a regular slow pace.
Nothing to be amazed about except that it was easier than I had anticipated it, being so tired.

However, it made me realise that I have a long way to go, as based on my time for the 2miles, I would need 6h to finish the marathon if I go at that pace the whole way.
So some speeding up to do. But you have to start somewhere!

This morning, I had to catch up with the speed and interval session of yesterday.
I made sure to get up early to make it happen.
After a warm up and some drills, it was time to do 4x400m.
Somehow the 3rd interval seemed easier than the others. Not sure if that's normal or usual.

Off for a days work, as today I also need to do my strength session. And I had a quick look at it, and it doesn't look too appealing this week. Oh well, the marathon is at stake, so better get on with it.

But, the rules say, if you have to do both sessions on the same day, you need to leave at least 3h in between.
Hence run this morning, strength session later.
