It has been a busy and tough week 5 - all three runs in five days. Did the 20min one yesterday on a treadmill, as I had a free pass to a gym for the day and used the opportunity to go "off road" for the first time.
While doing it, I felt as if I was cheating a little, because I could control my pace perfectly, and had no weather or ground surface influences. I also felt, before the run, that realistically this was the only way I was going to do 20 minutes. So to compensate for the indoor advantage, I decided to double the pace in the last five minutes and set the gradient level higher. I had also done 45 mins of stretching in a gym class beforehand.
Pleased to say I achieved this run, and by doing so I feel as if I have reached a new level, beyond which there is no going back. You can do it man, I must have told myself 100 times in that run.
So now onto wk6, and really looking forward to further progress and ultimately, graduation. And no more treadmills for me.
