A real run!


12/07/2005 4:30 pm
Workout Type: Endurance - Short Endurance
Course: SAN
Distance: 8.25km
Time: 38:48
Speed: 4:42 min/km
Average HR: 158

A real run, in real shoes, on a real road. Headed out the door planning to try for 5km, but the foot was behaving well, so I did one of my standard runs - just over 8km. The out pace was maybe a little quick, about 4:30/km, but it is an out and back course that essentially slopes downhill on the out. Eased back to 5:00/km on the back leg.

HR was high, which is indicative of my low base fitness (yesterday's 3km was more about natural speed than fitness), and as a workout it wasn't that good - too fast to be an easy workout, too easy to be a fast workout. But as a return to proper training, it was very encouraging. Day off tomorrow, and then a longer run (1 hour plus) on Thursday. The foot has been slightly stiff since, but nothing appears out of order.

Whenever you say "The foot has been slightly stiff" I suddenly get very nervous for you.
