I appear not to have updated for a couple of days. Was still not feeling 100% yesterday and realised when getting ready that the battery in my footpod had died so I couldn't possibly go out and do a longish run and did 5 easy miles instead. It was a little weird running without distance/pace data as I've got so used to it but did the 5 miles at 9mm pace keeping my HR down all the time. I was very hungry throughout the whole run so my calories are obviously still lacking.
Today I felt a bit better and with new battery in footpod (instant motivation, its amazing) set off to do some intervals, had a two mile warm up where I felt quite sluggish then 5 x 2mins with 2 min recoveries (was supposed to be six but I forgot, oops) aiming for 7:30mm pace which I generally managed, then 2M to "cool down". The intervals really woke me up and I really enjoyed them, just a bit annoyed about missing the last one as I was convinced it was supposed to be 5. The cool down wasn't much as I was sheltered from the wind and was boiling in the sun and couldn't rein in my pace from the intervals - which is why I love them so much
. 6.2 miles (10K) basically at 8:34 mm average.
My plan is to do 7 miles tomorrow easy, will no doubt feel hard as will be third day on the trot for running, then bike to work on Friday and Saturday off as at a family do.
