I’m feeling very pleased with myself today.\u00a0 I went for a morning run round my 1 mile route, this time deciding to take it easy rather than Pose running for time<\/a>.\u00a0 I already had in mind that I might try to extend the distance, as previously when I’d done an intentionally slower run, I’d felt that I could have continued.<\/p>\n

I was in 2 minds mind about how far to actually extend it, but in the end I ran another whole lap, for a total distance of 2 miles!\u00a0 At 35, this is the first time in my life I’ve ever run that far without walking.<\/strong>\u00a0 In fact my previous “distance record” (lol) is the single mile I ran back in May 2007<\/a> which was a first for me.<\/p>\n

I know to most people it’s doesn’t sound much, but it’s a major breakthrough I think.\u00a0 For the first time I appear to really managed to reach a stead state<\/strong> whilst running.\u00a0 By that I mean that the current 100m say, feels the same in terms of tiredness \/ pain etc, as the previous 100m.\u00a0 These frequent mile runs have started to bring that out, the latter half doesn’t feel much worse than I do at the end of the first half.\u00a0 Given that, there’s not much to stop me running further.<\/p>\n

I do think running on roads on the hill I live on is not doing me any good though, as the frequent cambers make running tricky.\u00a0 At the end of the 2 miles today, it was really the pain in my right hip that made me stop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Next and final target is 3 miles or 5k<\/strong>.\u00a0 That’s as far as I think I need or want to get up to.\u00a0 I have no desire to be a “runner” as I don’t believe in the health implications of it, and to be honest, it’s a dull form of exercise compared to Crossfit.\u00a0 It shouldn’t be too far off now though.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
