Blog – Thursday 3rd
Sept
Running: 7.4 miles –
7:14/ mi 55 min Progression Run
Oliver didnt want to
come with me tonight as it looked like it was going to rain, so I had
a full hour to myself. I decided to try a progression 10k and a mile
warm down.
I took my Garmin but
started the timer and set it to watch mode so I would be doing it all
to “feel”. I started out slow and progressively got faster with
each lap of the Nature Reserve (about 1.4miles). On the last lap I
was redlining it, pushing as hard as I could and stopped for a second
at the 10k point. A 41min 10k progressive run is not bad at all.
When I was running hard
I was having a good think about next weeks 5k race. Its going to be a
push to beat my PB. I will be happy to get near it to be honest as
ive not been specific enough in my training. But it will be race
conditions and it is pancake flat so we will see what the day brings.
I finished my run with
a warm down jog along the sea wall and was treated to a glorious sun
set again.

A strong run and
looking at my Garmin data it was a good progression session.
Food Diary
Brunch:
2 grilled sausages,
bacon, tomato, mushrooms, wholemeal toast, black pudding, baked
beans, 1 fried egg
Dinner out at the park
restaurant/bar
My will power took a
test tonight with a menu full of food I would love to eat and drink
but I knew I shouldn't (burgers, pies, creamy pastas, cool and
refreshing lagers etc). As this week hasn't gone to plan I decided to
try and stick to it as much as I could. I had a pint of iced water
and a very nice Chicken Cobb salad with Grilled Chicken Breast,
endive salad, avocado, egg, bacon and a tiny bit of blue cheese
crumbled over it. I really enjoyed it!
Snacks:
Banana, oat bar, nuts
and seeds, 3 oatcakes with homemade mackerel and avocado pate
(basically mashed mackerel, avocado and a squeeze of lime)
