4K 4000m! โœ…

On Sunday I went running aiming to run 26 mins, I failed at 21mins, everything was against me. Yesterday I didnโ€™t run I did a little workout for my shoulders and core and today first thing in the morning I went for a run for 4K and I did it! Iโ€™m so happy! I ran easy, slow because this first time I ran this distance! It was my longest time and distance in a single run, I ran more in intervals but this is longest run I did in one go! Happy days!

Great stuffโ€ฆ youโ€™re following a different plan to many of us, which is fine. Coach Bennett would definitely tell you off for that โ€œfailed at 21minsโ€ bit thoughโ€ฆ you succeeded in running 21 minutes ๐Ÿ˜. Ask him yourself, he answers lots of tweets!

4K intervals means youโ€™re not far from running a 5k straight now. Enjoy reeling that goal in.

A rest day between runs will not only keep injury risk minimal it will improve your performance and ability too.
