I missed my run at this time last week as my legs were not up to it. Now I'm trying to get back into the routine. The weather has really changed since my sub-zero Sunday run. It was around 10C when I went out, so t-shirt and shorts were adequate, but I found the zip on my shorts pocket has broken. I'll try to fix that.
I went for my standard pyramid intervals, but after looking at what others have been doing I am trying to make a bigger difference between the slow and fast sections. I started off at a very gentle jog, but ended up walking between the later sprints as they were taking it out of me. You can just about see the difference here, but the Endomondo app has me running stupidly fast at times.
The very slow parts later were when I did a few reps at the outdoor gym. I want to build more strength even if the extra muscle compromises my running. I'm never going to be a top competitor anyway. I'm interested in general fitness. I'm trying to get back into doing more high intensity workouts at home.
Here's the run log. Not too bad. I plan to increase my weekly distance to get in shape for some half marathons.
Enjoy your running.
