Recovering from Friday and 1 mile timed

I woke up yesterday thinking I wasn't feeling too badly after Friday's workout.

I worked as usual, and had a pedicure by my friend Lucy from Moon and Stars Beauty Therapy, as it will be important to keep my feet well supple and clear of dried and hard skin.

It's only towards the end of the afternoon that the DOMS kicked in. I struggled to get in and out of a car, but had to as we were invited to not just one, but two birthday parties!

This morning was still hard going, however, throughout the day, the stiffness disappeared and when I got home after a training day in Oxford, it was time for my 1 mile timed run.

1 mile is just over a full lap on the outside of my local park.
I have to admit that I struggled. Not sure if it's because I was tired, it was evening time, or what it was, but I couldn't control my breathing properly and my ankles felt very stiff.

Still, timing wasn't too too bad, but there is a lot to work on. But gives a good benchmark.

Rachael analysed my running technique after we videod it yesterday, and there is quite a bit to work on to help getting faster, but also running in a safer way to prevent injuries.

Lots to look forward to!

Another rest day tomorrow until my next running session on Tuesday, which is a sprint interval session.
This is what Rachael said about it: Ive just done your first short Interval session...it's not too bad but takes your breath away for a short while :-))))))) ENJOY!!

Not sure what to think now....
