RUNNING + STRENGTH TRAINING
RUNNING
(Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri)
I'm easing my way back into the running. My plan today was (run 1min/walk 2min) x 12 = 36min. It ended up being a mixture of 1min to 4min runs with shorter walk periods for a total of 37mins. I was only going to stop increasing the runs if my calf started tightening up. However, it felt great the entire time.
Much later in the afternoon it was starting to feel a bit tight so I will have to watch it over the next couple of days as I continue with more of a pyramid run/walk program to get back to my previous form.
Most recent session:

Hey a fellow Aussie and also a runner. Love the city to surf run. A great goal. Good luck on the day. Once you have ticked that one off your list how about the Sydney Blackmores 21km? Its a great course.
ha ha how did you know the half marathon is next on my list? Or maybe it's just the next logical step...
