C25K: Week 4 ends
Late night, early morning. Ugh. Get up to a nice looking day. Have a drink, let it settle, get changed to go out … downpour! Thunder! Gee, thanks.
Despite incurring nature’s wrath, we press on. Alarmingly, Mrs Snags has found a previously untapped degree of bounce and energy, meaning that the first two sections of running are pushed somewhat harder than before. End result we get our best times yet, and I even get below a 13 minute mile average (just) if Endomondo is to be believed. I am, however, on my knees by the end of it, particularly as we cover enough distance to put a short, sharp slope right at the end of the session. Tactical error.
Still, onwards and upwards to week 5. Tuesday I’m looking forward to. Thursday is achievable. Next weekend … that I’m still far from convinced about, as it will be the first time we have to run continuously without brief walking breaks.
