Morning Run - Recovery
I just finished a 7.655km running that lasted about 0hh:43mm:43ss !
I am not totally sure what constitutes a recovery run, but this one was just going to be whatever I felt like. I did my loop in the reverse direction to normal, which means some good segment times for me as I have not done them often. There is a new Strava feature of Local Legends for people who have run a segment the most. I must have run some around here well over a hundred times, so maybe I will qualify.
It is due to get much warmer today, but was not too bad first thing. I saw a red kite swooping over Stotfold again. Very impressive birds. When I got to the underpass heading towards Fairfields it was flooded again, so I had to do the shuffle along the barrier. This compromised my pace a little.
I could perhaps have gone further, but I will save myself for a longer run on Sunday. I saw quite a few runners out. As I came back through Arlesey there were all the kids going to school. I saw my friend Jon taking his daughters.

Day 2 of C25K and I'm waling like I've been riding a horse far too long! I'm trying harder to keep the speed up on the running bits this time around. I think I took it all a little too easy last time and didn't really push myself.
Have to find the right balance. I never did C25k, but I hope it encourages more people to run.
I think a lot of people have been inspired by it - a good number of friends have started their running journey with C25K. Sometimes it's the simple things like structure that people miss and then get disheartened with their progress.
hi @steevc, .. beginning to quite appreciate your run times, .. I'm doing 4K a day now, . with the odd day as rest,😄 I did my best time yesterday, ...
ankles are killing me though, they cant take this much abuse much longer ! 😃
That's good running. I was looking back at when I started running 8 years ago. I was doing over 7 min/km. Now I can get under 5 for short periods. My legs used to ache the next day after a run, but that has improved over time. Have to learn how hard you can push yourself. Don't want to get injured as that can really set you back.
My wife and I did our regular walk this morning. There was a fantastic breeze and the temps hadn't started to climb too high yet. It was actually quite refreshing. We walked in complete silence because I don't think either of us was fully awake yet!
