Running Room Update
Thought you might like to know that my running clinic is still going well. This week I got both practise runs in; I ran on Monday at the course as well as on my own on Wednesday and Saturday.
Doing the practise runs really helps. This week was 3 minutes running followed by one minute walking, all repeated 5 times. On Monday it was quite a lot of hard work. Wednesday was much easier until the last repeat. Today was quite easy… I even ran 4 minutes on one of the repeats by accident, and was fine. So practise really helps!
One thing I really like about running is that if you can stick with it the improvement is really dramatic. Like you’re panting crazily after running 2 minutes one week, and two weeks later you’ve doubled the amount of running you’re doing and feeling great. The clinic is cool because you’re out for a fixed time (20 mins or so) each week; slowly but surely the 20 minutes becomes more running and less walking.
Anyway, all this running is covering a lot of ground… To give you some idea of distance, it’s from our place across Bronson and along the canal to Mexi’s at Dow’s Lake, and then back again.
