Couldn't Resist

I know I said ... well the heart rate was down a little this morning so I decided to have a nice easy paced run this afternoon. Only 6ks at just under 7 minute pace.

Apart from being a little breathless (it is a teeny bit hard to get enough air in, although breathing in through my nose seems to help) I felt pretty good. The good thing about not running much lately is that the achilles niggle has settled down a lot.

If my resting heart rate is reasonable (mid to low 70s) on the weekend I might try a 10k run. I am also thinking that maybe I will do the Half Marathon in June, but just not worry about training too hard for it (in other words just keep doing what I am at the moment) and just take it easy on the day. After all it is only 3 7k runs strung together. As long as I don't have any more nauseous episodes.

That's some good logic RU. Only 7x3k runs strung together! I think I'll try it out tonight, instead of the usual one class of wine before dinner I'll drink the whole bottle. It's only like 10 x 1 glass of wine ;)

I'll let you know how it goes.

I've been doing the whole yoga breathing lately. The best way to describe it is that it's like breathing through your mouth but with your mouth shut. Makes a kind of audible sound. It really helps me get the air to my lungs. Plus it expels the air fully too, so you can get a bigger next breath.

Could that help you?
