Weekly ish Running Update: Three Good Runs!

I did my standard three runs again this week...

  • Sunday - 10+K longish run
  • Tuesday - standard 5K holding run
  • Friday - intervals.

This is as about as regular as it gets, and I'm happy that it's now both warmer and lighter. It would seem spring is here!

Sunday's long run...

I headed out along my usual route, and then decided to run the second half of the loop the other way round to usual, which added in a nice bit of variance. I kind of did this to force me into doing a longer route...

I got overtaken half way around going up hill by a woman at least half my age. She then ran along the same route as me and I returned the favour 3Ks down the road as I was coming to the end of my run.

I felt like a bit of a twat doing this, but this is how I normally run, slow at first, and then up the pace for the final 2K!

I managed 11K plus a final 400 metre sprint!

Tuesday's standard 5K...

I took this easy for the first 4K and then upped the pace for the final KM, you can see it in the red below....

I didn't feel like a fast one, so no prizes for this, but I was happy with around 4.13 for the final K!

Friday's intervals...

I opted for something a bit different than usual... I did

  • 1K
  • 800 metres
  • 600 metres
  • 400 metres.

I took the first couple relatively easy, and then really upped it for the final 400, I was feeling it by the end.

Maybe next week I'll add on another 200, but that wasn't for today!

That's a decent week of running. Always good to mix it up. I find some variety in route is good even if it's just going the opposite way. You can't worry about how quick others are. They could be club athletes for all you know.

The weather is really variable lately, so it's just luck what you get out there.

What's the #dave tag for?

I'm happy we've got a bit of sun recently, 6 months of easier running ahead!

Spring was here for a while, but it turned to winter today :)
