Week 3 – Snowdonia training #runchat @marathoneryri @runningblogs @skinsgb
Week 2 – Review:
Pants really. Struggled with tiredness (end of term) and a bit of a cold so stopped running, stocked up on Barrocca and tried to sleep a bit more. So Tuesday – Saturday runs didn’t happen. Some relaxing, beer and a Sunday lunch seemed to do the trick and I was back out yesterday with a nice run. The planned 3 miles went okay. First two good pace but third mile was a bit slower. So not a good week, but with 16 weeks to go, now the programme really begins.
It’s funny how things can really knock your running. One and a half miles into the run and I swallowed a fly (or something) – totally dried my throat up and as I wasn’t carrying any water I just felt sick. Need to remember to take water – especially when running on the cycle path.
