Today's workout

Aaah, treadmill, you are my salvation.  This has been a tough, busy week, and I just completed my only run.  Details here. 

I'm thinking that for indoors runs I'll try to run each time at least at the average speed of the previous one.  So this time I started at 7.4 km/h as a minimum speed, and worked at increasing this gently.  Reached a 7.6 km/h average today, which will therefore be my minimum setting for the next treadmill run.  I like numbers...

That's it for today.  Off to shower and prepare for my very first date with Stephen since Maggie was born.  I am terrified.  But that's a topic for another blog...

My Mapmyrun profile

For those of you who are really keen on following the minutiae of my half-marathon training, here's my Mapmyrun profile.  I log my workouts there, with maps whenever I train outdoors. 

Today, another quick jog on the 'rolling hills' setting of the residence's treadmill.  A nice, easy-going 7.3 km/h average.

Nothing else to declare, aside from the splitting headache that hit me because I went straight from running to sitting down and nursing Maggie...

Surprise treadmill!

Quick post.  We've been in Canada for a few days and I had lost hope as to my ability (and willingness!) to do anything running- or fitness-related, what with the constant snacking on good food and junk that is possible here.  Yet today I found a treadmill in the residence in which we are staying until the weekend.  Result:  a quick 20-min session, a lot of it spent working out the settings of the machine.  Still, a decent jog on the 'rolling hill' setting.  Needed that.

The 'official' RPF Half training programme doesn't demand anything until the 22nd June, so I'm really slacking for lack of deadlines here.
