Rain drops keep falling on my head 🎶

Hi guys !! Well , we just managed to beat the rain on today,s 5K run, rather relentless isn,t it ? !!! Probably ran just below 'all out' effort I would say ,in a time of 34 mins 03 secs, no 'records' set here today as Im tired to be honest (Lol) , but very pleased that my calf is still holding up well !! Five more runs before B,ham 10K, including 2 10K sessions ,so we should have it nailed barring injuries !! Very much aware now, that running at a pace where I have not a lot more gas available ,I see the need for introducing interval training sooner rather than later so as to raise the threshold at which i struggle for oxygen ie Enabling me to run faster for longer.... All things considered though, we have only been running for 19 weeks ,so to go from a 'lazy potato' to running 10K weekly is a good thing and consolidation runs are in our best long term interests !!

Sounds like a great run, and you dodged the rain! I've just reached the same conclusion about adding intervals, to add a bit extra to the tank. You've made amazing progress, and you'll be well set up for Brum.
