Week 3 run 2 ...the competative beast has awoken!

[Runningbunny]

So i completed my w3 r 2 today and after my disappointingly short w3r1 i decided to challenge myself a little more... i aimed faster and therefore ran further, suprised at what my body can now achieve. I enjoyed it. I wasn't as warm as past runs (or as red!) I had some tightness in my calves which i stretched following an extended warm down walk and will continue to stretch daily including on rest days to try and loosen them a little. I was pleased that having upped the pace a little, i could still manage the 3 minutes both times and even ran uphill! Next time i run, i will be on holiday so will have to find somewhere suitable (and not ridiculously hilly/tree filled/sandy!). Maybe along a pier at a beach would be good. Regardless, i am sure i will be just as red and competative!Anyway pleased at what i am able to achieve and really enjoying testing my running boundaries (not too much tho... still learning!)

Enjoy the runs and don't worry about how fast

You go just be careful and don't go mad...

Nope i won't but seriously the first time i completed week 3 run1 was totally slow... i didn't pace myself at all so am pleased i put more effort into it!
