Definitely a little warmer than the pre-breakfast run. Heart rate is continuing to fall and the hills feel just a tad less hilly. Just need to keep going. This time of year, consistency to my birthday is often a goal. Let’s try to each that. It’s around seven
It’s going to be a little while before I get a spring in my step (maybe Spring?), but I still really enjoy running in Spain - even when it’s hard work. Here’s a map of the 5k route from this morning.
Chilly one this morning, but felt (marginally) better than Thursday and yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the fitness level beginning to increase and the heart rate dropping. This route a short, but reasonably hilly run (400ft over 5km), so it’s good for strengthening the quads and elevating the heart
Same, 5k route. Going to stick with the slow running and short distances until I’m sure I’ve shaken off the Covid. I don’t remember feeling this unfit for a long time. High heart rate, short of breath, tired legs. Full house.
After a calf injury followed by Covid, it's simply wonderful to be back in the trainers! I'll be taking it easy for the next few weeks.
