I’m really getting back into this training thing. I can feel a momentum building now and hopefully will be able to put together a decent year of working out before the Great North Run in September.
Monday the wife and I headed out on our bikes, this was the first time we went out road riding together. It was a steady pace partly because our bums were still a bit saddle sore from the weekend mountain biking but it was a nice pleasant ride for 40 minutes. Something we will be doing more of this year.
Tuesday night was my first real training run of the year. I have run a few times but each time has been with a race number on my shirt, last night I just went running for running’s sake. I went back to my old favourite route of four point something miles at a steady pace, I didn’t time myself and don’t intend to for the moment while I build my legs to a level where I feel I can push some speed out of them.
The legs are a little achy at the moment, my ever present shin splints are there and threatening to surface but haven’t, my calves are a bit sore but that is my fault for not warming down properly.
Tonight, squash, Thursday rest, Friday squash and a bank holiday weekend of who knows what to come.
