So I’ve just ran my first 4k (8 laps of the block) in my current push. The previous two weeks I ran 3k, three times a week.
So far, so good. Although famous last words and all that, as I’ll see how it feels tomorrow. But unlike the third and final lap a month or so ago, my feet really didn’t feel like they were done on the last lap and I felt I could go on. I’m going to stick to the programme though and only increase gradually.
My feet and legs really are feeling good. Next week I’ll step this up to 10 laps (5k) and then the week after I’ll leave the block and set out around Clapham Common which is 5.5k. The plan after that will be to then build up gradually to 10k, then two laps of the Common. But baby steps until then.
