W8r2

[Cuba2005]

Right if you read last post you’ll all know W8r1 was horrendous felt awful after it. Posted and got replies from all you beautiful people and decided today I would run 28 mins and love it 😍 anyway can’t say it easy but I did it and actually enjoyed it. Think it’s a mental challenge get over half way then it’s on the way home and gets easier for me. Also U2 “Streets have no name” also works for me so thank you all for the support couldn’t do it without the advice. Graduate next week then it’s training for 10K 😵

Well done for pushing on.

It is not just you that finds the first ten minutes of a run the most difficult..........it is just about every runner in the world.

It takes our bodies from 5 to 10 minutes to work out the demands being put on it and then regulating blood flow to where it is needed.

It is known as the toxic ten but now your runs are getting longer you will spend a greater proportion of your running in the sweet zone beyond that first ten minutes.

Nice and steady with the home straight in sight.

Toxic Ten - good to put name to it thought I was mad as first 10 mins is harder than last 18 for me 😊 😊
