So today was just a short 15 minutes recovery run following my longer run of 8K on Sunday .
I must admit, I didn't actually feel like going out this morning but I was determined to keep the old legs moving π
So out at 08:30, shorts and long sleeved top proved just right today .
5 minutes warm up walk and off we go !
This was meant to be an easy run but to be honest it didn't feel that easy !
Maybe I was still a little stiff after Sundays longer run .
BUT, I guess thats the point of an easy recovery run ,
I chose a section of my normal route that I thought would be around 15 minutes and as I know this route so well then my estimation was quite accurate π
Nothing really unexpected on the run appart from the fact I thought it would have felt easier !
Back home , stretches done , porridge done and shower done !
Looking at my VO2MAX, it is coming up again since I have been mixing up my runs and increasing the frequency.
This is not really a surprise but it's nice to see the numbers confirm this .
During the last 3 months or so my VO2MAX had dropped and my fitness age had become older than my actual age.
This has now reversed and I am now 7 years younger than my actual age π
Not quite as low as it had been at one point but at least heading back in the right direction ,
Happy Running! π
