Strange thing last night, was laid out on the sofa on my phone editing a video. Got up to make a cuppa and my whole body ached like crazy for about 30 seconds. It wore off as quickly but was a new one. Some mornings on a run I've felt a little achey in my knees, but it's worn off after a couple of minutes.
Since starting CT5K I've also set a challenge & been trying to make sure I've got my 10k steps in daily. Pretty easy with Odie 🐶there daily to motivate me, but think it maybe just starting to take it's toll. In the early weeks I started off just doing a 3 mile or so walk on run days and a 5 mile walk with him through the woods. Around week 3-4 I was enjoying the longer walk that much I started doing the same 5 mile walk on run days too (usually a couple of hours afterwards). It's never really been a problem and have felt like it's actually helped build stamina up a bit.
I've still managed a couple of lighter days here and there to take a break, but think now I may need to slow it down for the final assault on these last 2 weeks. Strava says I've clocked up 118 miles this month running and walking, and whilst it's gotten a bit addictive think I may need to take it a little easier this last couple of weeks to make sure I have no hiccups. Strange it's only happened this last week though, so thinking it maybe to do with the lack of intervals in the runs that's just pushing the muscles a bit more than before.
After Wednesday's reckless run I toned it down a bit today, kept things at a pace I felt more comfortable at. One mistake I'd made again was to set off too late, after 11 again and hadn't eaten. If I'm going to stick to running on an empty stomach, really going to have to make sure I get out earlier..
Run generally went fine, still had a couple of moments of doubt but pushed on through knowing I had a nice long 2 days off to try and recover a bit. Reaching week 8 would also be a bit of a buzz, so slogged on through. Had more energy at the end of the run than Wednesday but nothing really to try for a nitro finish like I felt on Monday.
Anyway still really chuffed I've got this far, and looking forward to resting a bit and trying out the challenge of 28 mins on Monday, hopefully the extra day will be enough.
Ironically the video I was messing about with was one from yesterdays walk, a bit of a test now I'm starting to gear up into holiday mode 🌞
Happy running everyone!
Have a nice lay in for a change
