Due to lack of sleep last night I ran this afternoon – keeping to the every other day theory.
Ran 4 x 500m and it was quite hard.
Speed wise it was a little all over the shop. I started at about 8 and was struggling. I upped it at regular intervals – say every 30 seconds or minute and was more comfortable running at 9 or 9.5. I think that attitude wise I was not thinking that I couldn’t run for a time at the higher speed cause I was struggling with the lower speed. I’m glad that I upped it a bit, even though I realise that I am still running quite slow. Attitude wise, it proved to be a turning point for me.
I had to stop a couple of times during the last 500, but that’s ok, for the moment.
I’m kind of considering a C25k program, but I’m not real sure.
4 x 500m with 200m rest between
