Distace run in training - 56.65
Distance this week - 5.40
Now that Im using this new Nike app it is telling me that my run is actually 5.4mls, so I'm gonna stick with that!!
Never got out for a run yesterday, life got in the way again. It was my Wedding anniversary so too much going on and not enough time. So out I went today.
Today I felt great the whole time. I was like a streak of grease lightning all the way round. Dont know if it was because of the extra rest day yesterday or that I was running an hour after my dinner so was full of energy, but god I felt good. This Nike app really encourages you to keep pushing your pace and boy did I keep pushing. Today was also the first day that I actually felt like I was running properly. Its hard to explain but I really felt that I had economy in my running style and that I wasn't using up energy because of the way I was running, I had that small, pitter patter stride pattern that you need when running long distances. It means you are not as I said, using up energy because of the way you are running and it meant today was also the first day that when I finished my run I could have kept going and did at least another circuit!!!
The main point is that when I finished my run I had whizzed round in 41.39!!!!!!!!! a Full 2min 13secs faster than my first 5 miler on the 15th August, 13 days ago!!. I seem to be improving really quickly at the moment. I know I cant go on improving at this rate so I will enjoy it whilst it lasts. Tomorrow I plan to do 3 x 1 mile timed runs, 4 mins rest between runs. Basically run a mile as fast as I can them rest 4 mins and repeat. Another stamina builder plus it breaks up the big miles.... CIAO!!
