Strange to tell, but my legs are changing shape… I noticed this morning. No, they’re not pear-shaped, although they may well be after the marathon, but there are definitely muscles developing that I’ve not seen before… at least on my legs!
So I kept up the pressure earlier with another lunchtime run on the magic carpet. One and a quarter miles at 7.9mph, two and a half at 8mph and the final one and a quarter at 8.1mph gave me 5 miles in 37minutes 43 seconds and an average of 7.95mph.
This is 8 seconds off my PB on 3rd Feb, although that was an interval session and I was not even outside my comfort zone today. I’m guessing that those new muscles could be quite useful to my running.
