This last week has proven a good example of how consistency can win the day. I found that it was the first week of increasing my distances for a number of weeks after the side strain. I started with a Monday run of just over 12km which was completed in just over an hour and two minutes. Tuesday saw me continue to build on this, I decided to stretch myself with a longer run, completing just over 16km with an average time of 5’10” per km meaning it was completed in just under 1 hour and 23 minutes. Wednesday saw me return to a shorter distance, coming in at just over 12.5km. This was done intentionally to try and balance the load on my legs, I am aware of previous injuries from over use and don’t want to repeat the same errors. Thursday saw me completing a longer run, coming in at just over the 16km mark again before finishing the week with a 12km run.

I am happy with how the progress has gone, my legs have felt really good. I am looking forward to resting up for a couple of days before re-hitting the pavement next week. Hopefully, I will be able to keep building on the week.
