TUESDAY (Week 5)

Back on the road! As per my plan, 3 Reps of 10 minutes run at half marathon pace, with 4 minute jog recovery. Felt OK, ankles are a good bit better after their rest.

SATURDAY (Week 4)

I have changed my rest day this week, so I have Sunday off. I have the SFR Rothesay Burns Supper to attend, so would probably benefit from a day off on the Sunday. Today, I completed a half marathon distance (13 Miles). I did this in the morning. I felt it a bit for the last mile. I think this was due to a number of factors - e.g. increase in distance (the furthest I had run before was 10 miles), missing a day of training this week (this happens and the advice I have been given is just to put it behind you and try and stick to your regime in future), also - I was generally tired running after my 2 nightshifts. Anyway, enough excuses! I comleted the kept the pace going for the full distance and completed the run dead on 1 hour 30 mins.
