No running today, but I did head out for a walk to get my dad some Valentines Day stuff (he was feeling under the weather but still want to get something for my mum)
Now it’s just a matter of trying to sneak it into the house with my my mum knowing :-P
Day 2 on the C25K app and today’s setup was the same as yesterday:
GPS tracking was better since I allowed background tracking.
Leg was still slightly aching from yesterday, but I pushed through.
Decided to reinstall an old C25K app I used to use, and the first run was:
GPS tracking was bad because I hadn’t set it to allow background tracking. Will change that for the next run.
But now my leg is aching again. My lower back part of my right leg is hurting like it’s about to spasm (it has done that before)
Went running again, and still having trouble lasting any reasonable distance. I might just revert doing a C25K plan again.
My calves were absolutely aching after two days of running, lack of exercise, then suddenly being pushed hard I guess would do that to you.
No running today, just walking, and I made it back just before it started raining.
Went out running again, did only 2.6 km this time, averaged just about 6m59s/km – a far cry from the 6m0s/k I used to be able to do last time.
At least that is now my goal — to try to get to 5km, then try to get my speed to around the 6-minute mark.
My thighs are aching and my shoes do not feel like they’re cushioning my steps as much as they used to. I guess I’ll need to look at buying some new running shoes soon.
It’s been a long, long time, but I’ve finally decided to pick up running again.
And BOY, am I out of shape. Could barely get to 2km before having to drop to a walk.
But now at least I have a baseline to improve upon.
And I forgot how good running feels after a good workout.
1st January 2022. A new year, a new start.
What are your plans for the 2022 year? I’ve picked up Zombies Run again after a few years away due to its memory footprint inflating so much it wouldn’t run on my S5 without causing Android to force close other apps. It works fine on my OnePlus 9 Pro though.
Went out for dinner on this misty Boxing Day and ended up being caught out by some festive opening hours.
We ended up in a Korean grill I last went to in 2017. Went for a Bibimbap
Went out for my walk after Christmas lunch and found most places closed (as expected)
However, there were a few convenience shops still open, the Shell petrol station was still open (but the Tesco petrol station was closed). The local pubs were open, presumably for Christmas Dinner.
Speaking of which, here’s the final spread for my Christmas Lunch/Dinner
