Training Diary
This is a record of my attempts to be fitter, healthier and happier. It is not meant to be all that interesting for other folk. It's meant to motivate me.

Yesterday’s hike from Otford Station in Kent. 7.5 miles (although I cut a corner so it was probably more like 7). It was a cold and cloudy, but beautiful. But it was mainly an opportunity to break in my new trail shoes in time for the South Downs Way next weekend.

Best Workout in Years

I’d totally forgotten how amazing it feels to come out of the gym after working your hardest and pushing through pain and resisting the urge to give up. I might not have achieved an amazing amount in relative terms, but for my fitness level (one notch up from ZERO) I am so proud of my workout…

Ran home from Dan’s house. 5.7k in 40 minutes ish. Lots of walking. afternoon run = sluggish.

Mickey Mouse O event in Battersea Park this evening. I did the 5K course in 44 minutes. Properly easy course but fun. There was lots of running around out of bounds areas, and we weren’t meant to climb over fences either, so I probably actually ran about 6.5k I reckon. (NB: Ignore the 2.4K on the map - it was a mistake.)

I did Race For Life in the city yesterday. I’d had 6 vodkas the night before and it was HOT HOT HOT so I did the 5k in 32 minutes. 4 minutes slower than my last one. :(

lesson = drink more water.

I ran the Bupa London 10K today. It took me just under 61 minutes (the official time was 01:01:50 but I dispute the extra minute. ha.) which I was super pleased with. Not bad for my first ever 10K road race. yay me.

My run today doesn’t count because it was utterly pathetic.

Today’s run was just a wee 5k along the canal. Took 35 minutes ish. It was a hard slog - I find it so much harder running in the afternoons than in the mornings. Why is that?  
It’s one week today until my first 10K. I looked at the route today and it scared me a little. I should have done more longer runs by now and I also should have been doing more interval training. But I know I will get round, and that is the main thing. At least if I do  a shitty time I will be able to beat it at the next one right. ha.
