As per the last few Mondays, I did a short run this morning to take the edge off yesterday’s long one.
What was instantly surprising was that, beyond a slight initial stiffness in the legs, I felt no other after-effects and happily increased the speed, varying from 6mph initially to between 7 and 8.5mph. In fact, I whizzed along very comfortably, the only negative sensation being one of hunger that developed after about 2 miles.
For the sake of balanced reporting, I should mention that yesterday afternoon and evening I had a series of temporary headaches and backache and was very pleased to finally turn my lights out at bedtime!
I am also glad to report that Spring took another step forward and that the door was open from the off this morning… although we do have the benefit of a secluded South facing aspect!
So 3.25 miles in 26.40 which equates to an average of 7.3mph.
