This is a week where I’m recording all the incidental exercise I do.
5km! That’s including the walking bit of course, so…
But it’s nice to be improving. I find I run further when I push myself harder, and I push myself harder when I’m distracted by something interesting. So I need some interesting podcasts, I think.

Finally managed a slightly longer distance! I think my fitness is up after the weekend, I had a couple of rest days, and I wasn’t stewing over the pain of the run, so I felt better.
….and it looks like I messed up the run order _again_. I’ll do r2 on Monday. Yeah.

Running after 10am – bad idea. It’s going to be HOT running in summer. I need some sort of plan.
Ok, so it took me 3 minutes to run 200m. I’m not sure that’s true. But, at least I’m _consistently_ slow.

Must. Run. Earlier. Sun is very bright.
Forgotten where I’d gotten to in the c25k so just did a week 7 run again.
I’m not getting any faster. But it is getting easier.

Slow runner is
slow.
Had a proper rest day yesterday to ease the knees. Still slow today. But that’s ok because I am _strong_.
I have ongoing knee issues. These are partly because I’m Ms Slack Muscles in the ITB. I have some exercises the podiatrist gave me, but these are some other interesting ones:
‘Runner Dude’ lists about 4, but the ones involving steps are murder on my knees, so I’m interested in the last two.
Dr Charles rocks it with a couple of foam roller (aka Instrument Of Torture) stretches which are good because he offers a low-impact and higher-impact versions.

Kicked my arse, but I didn’t stop to walk. Swapping in 2 swims instead of a Wednesday run is a good thing for my knee and hamstrings. Getting hot, though. I’m going to have to run earlier in the morning soon.

I had started doing the 3rd run, but realised half way through that my calves were not going to make it. So I changed to the slightly less intense run 1. I think the extra dancing I’ve been doing is trashing my calves. And I haven’t been as good at stretching as I should be.
But otherwise – nice run!

Started running but got CRAAAAAMPS in BOTH claves so I had to walk. And then I had to walk more. It took SO LONG to get home. Bah. Rubbish. Think it’s because I did so much dancing this week and obviously didn’t do all my proper stretches. Boo to me.
It’s much, much warmer these days, so I’m going to have to get running in the earlier morning. Think I’ll get down to the local pool to do laps. I love swimming laps. Rlly.

Surprised I made it through the whole thing without stopping to walk. But also pleased that I made it as far as I did last time, but without the extra 10minutes walking.
