Another 30 minutes

13 Replies

Hiya,

In my quest to run again (after an involuntary break of 3 weeks), I 'had' to do a run today. The weather was warm, but good, so an outside run it is!

I found out that I had forgotten to take out the original soles in my running shoes before putting in the special pronation soles. So that was the reason my shoes felt so uncomfortably tight! Oops...

I started with a toxic ten, though after those 10 minutes they did not seem all that bad after all. It is obvious though that my fitness level has sunk hard. I seriously need to build it up slowly again.

I wanted a little challenge, so I thought to try for negative splits. Starting slow and increasing my pace slightly after each kilometer (I did 3,4 km in total). I succeeded, but it did not feel nice. Maybe I did not start of slow enough or I increased too much?

Anyhow, I did my 30 minute run!

Cheers, Evy

Well done on another good run, Evy 😊. Even with the extra soles in your shoes 👟! I always I think I start fairly slowly but I still have to slow down a bit more - pace can be tricky. We’ll get there! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pace is very tricky and so difficult!

Well done on your 30min run. I’ve never achieved negative splits 😂 happy running 🤗

in reply toGrannyhugs

Normally me neither. Not going to do this on a regular base either. It is a bit too hard 😂
