Another 5.50am wake up call!

I’m unable to run on a Monday or Tuesday evening, so once again the alarm clock went off this morning at 5.50am.

It wasn’t that difficult to get up though as I had a pretty bad night’s sleep… so was awake anyway at half 5.

I spent a good 10 minutes doing gentle stretches and roller exercises before going out as I had quite a tight tendon on the outside of my left ankle.

The target was 3 miles at 9:24, and as always I’m beginning to think that 9:24 is too slow a pace for me. I couldn’t have run much slower than I did really without it being completely un-natural. In the end I averaged 9:03 (with an average heart rate of 137).

Tomorrow will be a rest day to give me time to recover for my speed session on Wednesday.
