Hi all!
It's been a reasonable week for my running:
Sunday - 12km in 72 minutes
Wednesday - 5km in 29:38
Saturday - 5km in 22:55
I wasn't able to run a total of 4 times because I began a new role at work and had to put in extra hours to learn the role. I have been increasing the distance for my slow long runs on Sunday and am planning on running 13km tomorrow and 15km next week. I hope that this will improve my fitness and therefore my 5km times.
My aim for today's Parkrun was about 22:45. I set off well and was on track to achieve this at the 4km mark. I was ready to kick on but then got a painful stitch. I tried to run through it but did slow because each step was painful. I finished only 1 second slower than last week so it isn't a disaster.
My calf's have been getting tight after most runs so I am thinking of buying some calf supports. I have discussed these with a fellow Parkrunner and he said it has helped him a lot.
Here is a link to my run and happy running all:
