Easy Recovery Week: 46 min. Run 5 minutes. Walk 1 minute. Do this 6 times.
I did this on Friday but was too busy to write up the report then. This was far, far easier than Thursday's horrendous session. I have decided that it is easier to run for 5 or 10 minutes straight than it is to run for 3.
Although this was meant to be an easy recovery week, I suspect I have done it wrong. I went out Tuesday, Thursday and Friday which didn't give me much recovery time. However, due to upcoming-going-away-plans, I now need to switch my training days to start on Monday each week, and not Tuesday. I knew I'd be too busy to go out today (Sunday) so I went out Friday instead.
I will do the next session tomorrow, and I am a little apprehensive. It goes like this:
68 min. Run 10 minutes/walk 1 minute; Run 15 minutes/walk 1 minute. Run 20 minutes/walk 1 minute. Run 10 minutes.
From now on the training sessions are all of 43 to 72 minutes in length, so will require far more of my time. On the plus side, I only have 5 weeks left. Or is that a plus? It doesn't seem like very long. When I go out tomorrow I think I will be running about 5.5 miles, which is 1.2 off what I need to be able to do. That makes it seem OK. I really, really want to be able to run 10k in 1 hour, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
I'm sorry I don't have more to say about Friday's training. I was in London all Saturday and have been out today and I am very tired and Friday now seems very long ago. I shall try to make the report on tomorrow's session a bit more detailed.
Total tally of money raised is an amazing £88! That's £28 from me, £48 in donations from lovely, lovely, generous people and £12 in gift aid. My goal of raising £200 actually seems possible now!
THANK YOU to all who have sponsored me! You are amazingly kind, generous, wonderful thoughtful people.
