I did a quick gym session yesterday and included a mile run, which was pretty gentle, but when I got out on the run today... crikey my legs were sore.
I had planned an easy 5k at 6 min/km pace and I went the first 3k without too much trouble. After that my legs just refused to cooperate and I had to jog/walk the last 1.5k, cutting the route short. What was nice was that I was barely breathing heavier than normal at that pace - a stark contrast from when I started and encouraging for when I really up the distance.
I need to focus on getting my weekly distance up now. I have been doing about 20-25K per week, but I really want to get that to about 50K per week before the end of the year. So my focus until the end of July is to get to 30K per week - I'll be posting my weekly breakdown from now on.
Of course, next week I'm moving house so not a great week to go in to.
Happily, tomorrow is a rest day and by Thursday I hope to have working legs again.
