Recovery run – 3.68miles, 8:51mile/min

I’m not going to get a chance to go out running Wednesday, Thursday or Friday this week, so I had to go out for a run before work this morning. The alarm went of at 5:55am and I managed to get out of the door at about 6.25am.

I was pretty nervous going out this early, as last time I had a very early morning run my achilles tendons were pretty sore for a couple of days afterwards. So, I started off pretty slowly, but I also began to feel loose pretty quickly too. The first mile or so I felt a tad breathless – but having only been up for a half an hour I guess that wasn’t too much of a surprise.

I made sure I had a good stretch when I got home and a recovery drink before my normal berry smoothy and peanut butter on wholemeal toast, before setting off to work at 7.45am.

I’m looking forward to sleep now!
