Well maybe more of a lollop about …
Having succumbed to the snooze gremlins this morning, it had to be an after work run today. It was windy, warm and really humid but with a break in the heavy rain showers around 5:30, off I went.
This was my first run since my holiday and I had hoped for a sub-30 minute 4k. In the end it wasn’t quite which was a bit disappointing
So what can I say about this run?
I enjoyed being out there and running again – even if the ambience and scenery wasn’t quite the same as on Pen Llŷn
It felt good, especially for the first 2km.
Even though I was hot and quite tired after a day at work, my heart rate didn’t rocket but climbed steadily over the duration of the run.
I was ready to stop at 4k and had very little left in the tank at the end this time.
My average pace wasn’t that far away from what it was back in March before I got injured.
Splits 7:43, 7:22, 7:37, 7:41.
So definitely positives to take from this run.
I’m not sure what I’ll do for my next run, but I want to extend my distance out again at the weekend with the aim of reaching 10k again before the end of the month.
The stats are from todays run, but the photo isn't related at all. It's the sunset from the balcony of the cottage where we were staying in Llanengan looking towards Uwchmynydd and Ynys Enlli - just because it is so beautiful.
