Base run – 2.61 miles, avg pace 9:43mile/min

This was the first time I’d been out since my terrible cold of the last few weeks.

I had a tough night in the gym last Friday and I could still barely walk this morning – so didn’t hold out too much hope for a nice gentle run! I can’t remember a time my quads have been so tight.

It was also the first run I’ve had round King’s Hill – which is where my gym is. It was a nice gentle loop of just over 2.5 miles.

Still, it wasn’t too bad. The heart rate was pretty high and after about 1.5 miles both achilles started to feel quite tight. I tried as much as possible though to shorten my stride length and land midfoot. I will succeed at this!!!
