Week 6 Run 2

[LeeU]

I woke this morning with a little aching in the upper body and hips, I had an assessment with a private trainer yesterday evening and I'm not going to lie, it was a good workout.

The plan for this week is to keep to Monday and Wednesday for R1 and 2 and then do R3 on Saturday morning (with a gym session thrown in for good measure on Friday).

As part of the assessment the PT had me do a Cooper Test, I've done them before BUT I normally do them at the beginning NOT about halfway through so I struggled a little to maintain the pace I wanted, I didn't stop, I completed the full 12 minutes but fall into the poor category (for now).

Back to today, I jumped on the treadmill and set off on the 2 10 minute jogs and it was a hard one.

Nothing to do with it being an interval run or the length of the running periods, I ached more than I thought I did.

I pushed on and completed both 10 minute segments and then, while listening to the radio during the warm down walk I realised it was taking a little longer than I thought it should have; so I checked my phone and who would have guessed it, the countdown was stopped at 1:20 I believe it was.

10 runs left, looking forwards to the 25 minute jog to finish off week 6, I'm aching a lot more now so I may even bump that until Sunday, let's see how I feel.

Happy Running everyone.
