Great North Run training: Weeks 1 & 2
After the Monday training run I mentioned in my last post, my legs ached just a bit too much. Naturally I thought of the worst – that I had pulled the same muscle again – so I thought I’d better play it safe and skip my planned Wednesday run for that week. I hoped that this would give me enough time to recover for my Friday run.
As ever, I was anxious about returning to running again, however, this time everything just felt normal. No unusually aching muscles or any pain. Which made a nice change from what I’ve put up with for the last six weeks.
So I now I’m going to properly ease myself back into training and actually start following a training schedule again. It’s very mild compared to what I’m used to, but there’s no way I’m going to risk another six weeks of not being able to train.
