Better time, better distance. But dealing with a nasty knot of cramp in my left calf which started on Sunday during dance work. Will rest and stretch, rest and stretch.
Got puffed, got snotty (it’s spring!), but think I’ve finally ditched that annoying slumpy bug that was bringing me down. All-strong, all the time from now on.

Had some minor knee aches yesterday and thought perhaps I shouldn’t do the 20min running block of wk5r3 today, but I couldn’t help myself. Will see if I pay for this. Think knee pain is related to failure to do knee exercises on weekend. Bad, bad elite athlete.
Found the longer block fine, though I worked a bit harder than I thought I would. Overall, I’m fitter than I was the first time I did this, but I have lost a lot of fitness since I finished c25k the first time

I am STILL running the same distance as during week 4.
The two long blocks were surprisingly unhard. I thought it was another ipod mistake, and took it as a challenge. It was nice to actually think ‘oo, this will be harder’ and then to push myself a bit. But I didn’t actually run very fast or very far, so I guess it wasn’t that big a deal.
But I’m looking forward to the rest of the week5 runs.
