I don’t understand
Jun.20, 2006, filed under Miscellany
I’ve been really good with the running – at least twice a week since I moved apart from that time when I was really creamed in the knee department.
I’ve supplemented my running with swimming to improve my CV capacity, and I’m now up to 1000m crawl in half an hour three times a week. This might be pish if you’re Duncan Goodhew but I’m quite pleased with that for about 5 weeks’ training.
I bought funky new shoes and a bra that fits and stops my (ample) boobs jiggling.
Can someone out there please tell me why I’m still struggling with the running? Surely I should be able to do my regular short route fairly easily by now. Surely I should at least be able to get all the way around without having to stop or slow down even for the tiny bit up the steps from the beach; and make it to the end without collapsing into a quivering, panting heap.
For me that 2.6 mile run is still harder than 1000m swimming or the 17 mile sprint circuit on the bike I try to fit in during the rest of the week. I come out of the pool and I could go the same distance again if I had the time, probably at the same pace. I get off the bike and heart rate is back to normal inside 5 minutes. I get back from the run and I have to lie on the floor and drip for 3 minutes before I can think about stretching.
I must be doing something wrong, surely.
