Haven't posted my regular running log in the last couple of days
August 15th was my day off
On August 16th, I ran 7.04 KM (11 laps) in 43:23. Started off very well with a first lap of 3:14 and then tapered off still coming in under my target time of 44 minutes (4 minutes per lap is the outer limit I allow myself). Felt good to get back in the plus 5 KM range.
Warmup: 10 minutes, stretches, 1 lap walk
Mileage so far: 14.64 KM
August 17th (today)
I ran 7.04 KM (11 laps) in 42:15. I couldn't believe my timing ...it's almost a full minute off yesterday's time. Started off with a slow lap of 4 minutes, the next two were also the same time more or less, then started shaving off seconds off the 4 minute mark. The 5th lap was at 19:28, and then I accelerated running lap 6 in 3:45, lap 7 in 3:30. At the end of my run, felt really awesome.
Warmup: 10 minutes, stretches, 1 lap walk
Mileage so far: 21:68 KM
I read somewhere that you should pace yourself and start slow to reap benefits later; today sort off proved that point. Does not mean I won't sprint off when I have fresh legs :o)
