My Running Week

[Mat30]

So here we are again another week done and dusted. Not lots to report really, extended my run on Monday to 7.4 km in 43.48, which I was pretty happy with, Wednesday was interval day as per usual, hard as always but they are not supposed to be easy. Today's run was pretty awful, I know Laura always said there would be bad runs but todays was horrible. Nothing would settle in place, not my breathing or feeling of moving a bit better, only thing I can put it down to and I know there's probably no rhyme or reason to it (according to Laura) was that I gave blood yesterday evening. Here's hoping that Mondays run which is going to be 8km is going to go well.

Thanks for reading and keep on running.

Blimey Mat, of course giving blood will knock you off your stride -you just lost a pint of haemoglobin, so your blood can't carry the same amount of oxygen as usual. Give yourself a massive pat on the back for being able to run at all and cut your self a bit of slack -it takes 4-6 weeks to replace your donated red cells so expect the next few runs to feel tougher than usual. Good luck
