Did a 2a.m. training run yesterday morning after work as i haven't got a day off til the weekend and i'm in work for 10 days straight!
decided to take it nice and easy and ran slow so i could breath comfortably without feeling like i was struggling for enough air,it seemed to worked really well as i felt like i could get a good distance under my belt and advance my training.
I managed to do 13Km/8.16 Miles which was just short of one mile more than my previous longest run from last week which was 7.2 Miles.
It took me 1hr 13mins with a pace of 5.34minutes per km,which overall was a slower pace than my previous run But with the extra distance ,and stopping 4 or 5 times to stretch because my legs were tightening up and starting to pain i was quite happy with the progress.
So if i run slow and steady i should be able to slowly improve my distance,which will then mean it will be down to my muscle endurance,which will improve in time with more runs anyway.
I've got the Southport Age UK 10K charity run on sunday morning,so looking forward to that.I'm running with a female friend,so it should be a slow and comfortable run.
