Good run yesterday, 5 min walk to warm up followed by 15 min run, 5 min recovery, 10 min run then 5 min cool down. Surprised myself by completing both runs! Found my pace and stuck to it, pleased with myself and again I found myself saying to myself that a 10k run at the end of the program is looking very realistic, if this is the case, as I have just over 4 weeks left, the weeks after the program will be spent trying to up my pace a bit...

Riverside Park Run

Decided to run my local park run tonight, starting and finishing at Tees Barrage in Stockton, really enjoyed it and managed to set a new fastest 5k time, still a bit slower than my quickest park run which I set last year, but it's encouraging and motivating me and for the first time in a while I actually thought I would be able to complete a 10k run at the end of the program...that remains to be seen but I'm confident...

Run from work

Well...not down with running to work at silky o' clock I decided that I would run home too, which was harder than I first imagined and the only thing I think I can put it down to is the fact I'd been up since 0330 and done a full day at work, this is my excuse and I'm sticking to it...! ☺.

Hopefully going to be running to/from work on Mondays and Fridays, Wednesdays I have Rugby training so the car is welcome respite. Training will ramp up in the near future with the introduction  of more Rugby training on a Tuesday/Thursday and my gym days are set to change once the Union season is done and dusted...I don't feel as though I will be able to do 10k at the end of the 12 weeks but time is on my side, I'm only in week 7 atm and the 10k I've entered is in November...I should be able to complete 10k straight off by then...😉
