I had planned to do a longer run today looking for distance rather than speed but plans change. With visitors due today I didn't have time to be outside for a long period of time so opted for the shorter 2 k run and again tried to increase my pace.
I am happy with the results today as I again managed to shave time off the distance. Split time of 8 minutes per km. That is another 26 seconds per km off my pace. Now this gives me something to smile about 😁 I may be under 8 minutes a km sooner than I thought.
One thing I do have to look at potentially changing is when I eat breakfast. At present I am eating after my run, I get up, drink some water, stretch and then run, but I am not certain this is working as well for my body as I would wish. Thing is though I do not want to wait around for food to digest before I run. It gets hot quickly in the mornings and I am not a morning person, so getting up earlier is not an option I will be exploring any time soon.
If I could get by with a protein drink then I would be set but of course they are not something that my body will accept anymore. I will go back to my recipe books and search for something that is easily consumed and digested so I can grab it and run, literally. Wish me luck on that search! Considering fruit is out.
Oh well as I said the other day, onward and upward. Something I have learned from martial arts, is when an opponent thinks they have you trapped, if you relax, don't panic, there is always a counter and a route to success.
I am grateful today to have again started my day with a run on a glorious morning
and to have improved my times. Today is going to be a wonderful day.
