I had a cracking Monday run this morning. It was just churn-out-after-churn-out of constant pace all the way and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at any stage. I can genuinely say, that my respiration is not a problem, the fatigue only sets into my quads but even that wasn’t enough to consciously feel under pressure throughout the run.

I did decide to run without my running jacket this time, so I was a long sleeve technical running top. It was one of those training tops. I also wore shorts so its really not that cold now and I did well. I didn’t even notice the cold. Interestingly I did feel my lower back a little during the run but not enough to be a problem thankfully. Perhaps this was because of the strain I placed on it earlier this morning.

Looking at my stats, all this feel-goodness paid off – 2 achievements and one PR! Check it out:

 

So what are we talking about here? We’ve got a 4:25/km pace with is up on my average of 4:30’ over 9.7Km.

I got a PR running on Oxford Rd, which is interesting because I didn’t feel like that that was a particularly a fast straight.

Very happy however.

Speaking about earlier this morning, I slept pretty well. I think that was because I slept a lot on Sunday. That was a good move. That’s what Sundays are for!
