Saturday: On Saturday I found myself up bright and early at 7:50am and out the door for an early morning run. I was feeling really inspired and really looking forward to going. I enjoyed my run, but I find at the weekend when I run by myself I struggle to pace myself correctly and can't run continuously for half as long as I can when I run with my training partner. This is something I really need to work on, I have found that now, when I feel I need to stop I either try to slow down the pace or only walk for a few seconds at a time as to not lose the momentum.
I managed 3.65 miles in 52 minutes - I was sure this route would be further but unfortunately not.
Sunday: Now Sunday was probably a mistake, I didn't set an alarm and decided I would let myself have a lie in and let myself recover, but my stupid body woke up at 8am regardless so I decided I would make the most of the time and take myself out for a run/walk. I actually enjoyed going out on the pretence it wasn't a full on run and I could enjoy walking for longer periods of a time and really just take in what was around me. I went a little further and found some places which I never even knew existed.
I managed 4.06 miles in 1 hour 2 minutes
Today however I am done in, my legs ache so much, they don't hurt like an injury pain they just ache, I've obviously put alot of pressure on them the last few weeks and they need some recovery time. Tonight I'm going to rest them with some ice packs and hope that they ease up as I really don't want to miss my run tomorrow.
Do you have any advice for this?
