Not the most faithful runner, but hey.. it worked!

About halfway through week five I think I subconsciously dropped out of running (I think it was because I had a lot of schoolwork and revision and I had to fit other training in like spinning and supersets, though I'm sure this improved my fitness, and at the least maintained it), but after a few words with my coach (for sailing- he's very 'fitness-oriented' as I like to say) I came to the conclusion that it was an extremely good idea to take up running again, about three times a week.

So, today I started again, and aimed for about 25 minutes (my previous record) but actually got up to about 30, by which time I was at the beginning of my cooldown zone. My phone died (with the tracker on) about halfway through, so I had to use a watch for times, but I checked my route on google earth and it was 4.8K.

I was honestly so overjoyed, especially as I honestly felt that I could go for a short time longer. So, on Tuesday, I'm going to go for a 5K!

I hope you have all had a nice week, may the next bring safe runs and good weather to you all

Well done, but go steady. Build slowly to avoid overuse injury from pushing too far too soon.

The programme aims to build in a structured manner, so consider sticking with the programme, focusing on running time rather than distance👍🏼😀
