Hello again. Another 4 runs this week.
First run on Tuesday was again a 3 mile run around Lancaster University. I missed judged the distance (I thought I had done nearly 3 miles when I had only done just over 2) and I ended up running around the tennis court, again and again. And again.
Wednesday's run was another 3 miles this time along the footpath and was a faster run.
After this run I was emailed again by the website I am using to plan my runs to tell me that, because I was running faster than scheduled, they have decreased my expected race time. They now think I should complete the 10k race in under 50 minutes! (49 mins and 47 seconds to be precise).
This is probably not going to happen.
Friday's run was again a farlek 2 miles, the same as last Friday. I even ran the same route, except this time I ran it 90 seconds quicker.
The final run of the week was 3 miles on Sunday. I attempted to do this run after visiting a food festival and eating a burger and lots of free samples of cheese, chilli, chocolate and alcohol.
This was not a good idea and I felt awful but, with a short break after 2 miles, I suprising completed the run in the scheduled time.
So after another week of 4 runs I am still on target.
And apparently, apart from my family, at least one other person reads this blog. Hi Rob.

One week. Four runs.
Another week of four runs. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
No incidents this week, no falls, no excitement, just boring running.
I did a steady 3 miles on Tuesday and a very slightly quicker 3 miles on Wednesday. It was supposed to be much quicker but wasn't, although I was still running quicker than I was scheduled to do.
On Friday was it was only a 2 mile run but it was a farlek run. This is a sprint and then jog to recover run and is meant to improve your running speed. I always find this difficult to do. I start off well but get tired too so and slow too much. I still managed to beat the scheduled time though.
Sunday's run was a fastish 3 miles again and the fastest of the 3 miles runs I did this week although it didn't seem like that.
On Sunday I received an email from the website that produced my running schedule to say that, because I was running faster than expected, they were going to revise the plan to make me run a quicker time for the 10k race.
I'm not sure this is a good idea. We shall see.
