Me<\/strong><\/p>\n What another incredible week of running! It’s been a challenging week, and a bit of a mixed bag but I have been loving every single second of it! Unfortunately on Thursday I somehow managed to bruise the top of my left foot and I found it very painful to run. I genuinely have no idea how it happened, suggestions on the back of a postcard perhaps? I decided to train on Friday but with my foot still painful I decided to rest up on Saturday ahead of a vital 2 hour progression run planned for today.<\/p>\n Fortunately, although not 100% better, my foot was not too painful this morning and I managed to hit all my targets for this morning’s run.
\nThe week started with an incredible intervals session that due to other commitments I had to undertake on my own. Normally I struggle with fast paced sessions on my own, as when I start to get tired there is nobody around to spur me on or drag me around. The session was not easy but I worked very hard and was duly rewarded.<\/p>\n
\nThe progression run for those who do not know, is where every so often (today it was every 40 minutes) the pace\/ effort level is increased, with the last section being at targeted marathon pace\/ effort.
\nThe run was made a little harder with the wind and rain today, but all in all I am very happy with my performance. Bring on Reading Half Marathon<\/strong><\/a> in just over a month’s time.<\/p>\n
