Today I ran the first run of week 10 and covered 6km. (I'm not sure what happened to the big 5K milestone, I didn't seem to notice it.) Today I ran longer and further than I ever have before. The intervals were: Run 20 mins, Walk 2mins, Run 20 mins. The picture on the left was taken after I arrived back at work (excuse the hat hair).So as I continue on this training plan I continue to surprise myself. Just a few weeks ago running 6km was a laughable concept, but I just managed it without much difficulty. It's not particularly impressive running 6k in 40 minutes, but it's impressive for me! As long as I keep seeing improvements in my fitness and endurance I'm not too fussed about speed. I'll worry about that later. There is still 19 weeks until the Derby 10K, so plenty of time for improvement.
I'm off now for a cup of tea. I'm still rather dazed after running for 40 minutes. The 25 minute short run this week suddenly seems a bit tame. I'm not getting complacent though. Those short runs can be nasty. It'll probably knock me back a few pegs.
