Training in Quarantine – Day 9

Walk again. Did my 3k lap as always, on call, so didn’t want to make too far a distance in case I get beeped (wasn’t this time, thankfully)

Walked past a Sainsbury’s that had a massive queue last time I went past them. There was no queue this time, even though it was still open, for some reason.

Decided to finally rasp and scrape my heel of hard skin, soak it in hot water, and then put some foot cream on it after a shower.

I’m writing this entry a day after it should have been written (forgot to log it yesterday) and my heels definitely feel better. Still a little crinky, but definitely not as bad as before.

Training in Quarantine – Day 7

I’m on call for the first time since quarantine and lockdown started so decided to run just after finishing work.

Got half way around then got beeped by the office, messing up my pace, even though it wasn’t an incident.

Still, in the time I had been running, according to Strava, I had averaged a 5:57 pace.

Training in Quarantine – Day 2

Day 2 of quarantined training. Went the other way around my same route, and got a slightly lower distance count for some reason…..

Oh, well.

Ran at 5:34 min/km pace overall, with PB on this route at 5:26 min/km.

Being quarantined up does have it’s benefits I guess, being forced to do stuff you never got a chance to do.

Training in Quarantine – Day 1

3.18 km in 5:41 min/km, which isn’t too bad considering my best time 5:24 min/km

London is in semi-lockdown right now with only a few valid reasons for someone to leave the house, such as exercise, work (where remote work isn’t possible), providing medical care to a vulnerable person, shopping for essential goods, or for other medical reasons.
