Today's run seemed to be focussed on stamina rather than on distance. Of course I'd not actually looked at the 'workout' breakdown on my app before I set off, and was merrily under the impression that this week's challenge was to run for 90s and then walk for 90s rather than 2 minutes or whatever it was last week. No! It was 90s run, 90s walk, 3 minutes run, 3 minutes walk. The first one rather confused me because I thought the app might have crashed or something (as 90s was feeling rather long). Now that I know I'm hoping for my next run I can be a bit more mentally prepared.
Still suffering a bit from this cold ... although it's definitely on its way out. Didn't push too hard this morning (probably just as well in the end) but my run pace seems to be reasonably steady around the 10/11 min/mile mark. Eventually want to push this closer to 6 min/mile but one step at a time!
Also went out in my new hi-vis jacket today - this is the kind of thing I would have laughed at Grandad for wearing years ago - but I actually felt quite proud and very runner-ish! I also had my first proper instance of the legendary (apparently) runners' camaraderie when someone nodded a good morning to me. Maybe I can be a runner type after all.
