Indoors: 31 minute recovery run. I’ve gone straight from a speed run in the previous week to a recovery run on day 3 of this week in an endeavour to get back on track with the training.
Today I just wasn’t in the mood for running. I have felt very sleepy these last three days, very lethargic and I’ve hardly done anything. This is probably the effects of the training and feeling mentally tired during the run today is more indicative of needing a holiday than anything else I suspect.
Anyway, this run was psychologically challenging hence the purposely slow pace. This is the kind of pace I’ll hopefully be running the 15K at on Friday, but more likely even slower.
When I get closer to the half marathon (I have just under 8 weeks to go), I’ll see if I can run a sub 30 minute 5K. It’ll be interesting to see if I can do it. I’ll only try if my injury continues to feel better.
The best thing about today is there was not a peep out of my groin/hernia. That has given me great heart for the 2 hour plus run I’m facing on Friday, which I’ll be starting around 5.30am as I much prefer running in the mornings on an empty stomach.
Onwards and upwards!
