This was my 4th run since my break and I'm still feeling it is still in the Recovery process.
It's definitely getting easier, but still way off from where I was but, as I have said before , I'm in no hurry.
This is about the direction of travel rather than the distance or pace .
I went out at around 08:20.
It was a chilly 3 degrees so I wore my tights, a vest running top and the my new first time out 'Time to Run' Thermo running jacket, (In the pictures but not me wearing it π) This was perfect for my run today .
I set off on my usual 5k route which is very easy to use for 3, 4 or 5K
Infact I have often used it for 10K's
I decided to use the NRC 4K Run and also a playlist of various Pink Floyd tracks .
I wasent checking pace but I notice after the run that it is still naturally a little slower than before my time out but that is to be expected.
I'm feeling comfortable though , and that's what I'm after at the moment .
I knew after the first K that 4k would be fine today .
I also considered going onto 5K but decided I would not push on too early .
So 4K was comfortable, and enjoyable and after all, that's what I want .
As I continue to recover then I will continue to re build the distance but that can take as long as it takes .
Back home, stretches done , porridge eaten π
Happy running!
