Wednesday's Run

This morning I couldn't decided what type of run I wanted to do, I was going to run outside with Mrs LeeU but she has been advised to lay off of all exercise for a few days until her inhaler has had time to work, she had exercise triggered asthma as a child and it seems like the running may have caused an re-occurance.

So, I jumped on the treadmill and plodded on for 30 minutes, up a 3% incline. Towards the beginning of the run, I discovered that my body now seems to think my slow run pace is too slow, my head seemed to agree so I put another .5kph on and continued. The new pace seemed to suit me so I didn't mess with it again for the rest of the run.

All in, it was a great run, a bit of a let down if I'm honest as I wanted to get outside and using Mrs LeeU would serve as a reminder I need to start slowly in the new environment. We'll see how she is on Friday/Saturday, I was going to do 55 minutes but if she's ok to run by then I will join her and delay the 55 minutes until next week.

Happy running everyone.

Hope your Mrs is better by the weekend so you can run together, at least you fitted a run in for yourself . Brilliant 😊😊

I hope so too, we've started going swimming on rest days, she's missing both the running and the swimming at the minute and she's hating it.

Luckily enough, I normally run before she wakes up so it's not like I'm rubbing her nose in it or anything but I am missing the swimming also, may go tomorrow.
