So then, I've set myself a little target for the month of February and that's to run 30 miles. I usually walk around 30 miles a week so it should be an achievable addition to that.
I've been working my way through the Couch25K routine again and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Saying that, yesterday morning's run was a proper struggle but, at least I got out there and gave it a go.
I've historically been a keen runner but have never really pushed myself for speed or distance. I was happy plodding along for 3 to 6 miles 3 to 5 times a week. I hope to push myself a little harder this time around and would like to target a 35 minute 5k and 1hr 15m 10k. I have an iffy spine and don't feel I could push myself much more than that without putting myself out of action for a while! That is unless things improve as I lose a little weight.
The conditions looks OK for this coming week; OK for me is for it to not be windy. I have no issues with ice, snow or rain but hat running when it's blowing a gale. It tends to do that quite a lot here on the east coast :)
