Second Run!

It was hot! I have not been that sweaty in a long time. I was on the treadmill and I made myself do 0.2 faster on all the speeds than last time so at the moment I am doing;

Time (mins)	Speed km/hour
5	10
5	9.6
5	9.2
5	8.8

And yes I do know it’s a little sad to write it up in Excel but it’s so easy! And I actually looked at the distance my treadmill said I had done and it reckoned 3km pretty much exactly but check out the screen shots below. I don’t think they are made for treadmills but Map my Run is doing the best.

I’m trying to decide what my next challenge on the treadmill should be I think I might try and do 10 minutes at 10, I think that would also help me more when I do a proper run in the great outdoors. 

I also want to say thank you to this guy, you totally got my through, thank you, thank you!

How have your runs been going, set yourselves any good challenges?

Thanks for Reading xx

Another Day, Another Runner

We are totally in the groove now. I don’t have to be dragged out the house to go running anymore and we are like super fast and recover much quicker than we did before! I am seriously impressed at how quickly you can improve your running once you get into a habit. I told my dad our time for 2.82km (13.35 minutes) and he was really impressed and I am too now because I did a treadmill run and only managed 2.57km in 20 minutes??? So I guess we know who the motivational runner is in the relationship, no wonder I'm dying when I get back on Saturdays!

It was such a lovely day last Saturday too we managed to run when there was sunshine I totally didn't need my hoody. Really regretted having such a big bowl of cereal for breakfast I think I have learnt my lesson to have small meals before exercise it is not worth the stitch and extra dead weight!

Oh and don't forget to stretch after exercise only, before actually hinders you - it has been proven!

Anyone else get active this weekend?
