Yesterday was just to cold so the frost hadnt lifted from the ground and no way am i taking a chance on picking up an injury by slipping so i ended up doing 5 miles on yhe running machine. I decided to do it at a fairly quick pace and building it up throughout the run until at the end of it i was running at 4.15/K pace which is quite quick for me. What it meant was that i completed the 5 miles in 37 mins. I know it was on a running machine but not too long ago i could not have done that so its a good marker
I am going through a bit of a low point again. You sould think that having made a few breakthroughs recently and having done 14 miles last week that i would be raring to get out there but no. Im having to force myself to get out there. Its not as frosty today so no excuse not to go out and i will go out and do the 7.25 mile route today instead of the 5 my schedule says to make up for yesterdays running machine but it is an effort. I just think its because i have picked up another cold!!! What is going on. I think this is number 4 since the winter came on. Inalso think its because the milage is starting to go up. By that i mean im beginning to leave the 5 miles behind and am stepping up to 7 and 8 for each individual run so im out longer each time and with working shifts its gonna start getting harder. Monday is a 15 mile run!!
The last time i trained for this i was in a constant day shift position so it was easier and i wasnt doing the shift thing hich really takes it out of you. Especially 10 hr day shifts. Anyway lets hope the weather gets better and i get over this cold soon
