Running Outside

Struggling to keep the blog up-to-date recently. Struggling to run regularly too just at the moment.

Anyways, went out tonight down to Red Rocks and I was going rubbish. My legs are as stiff as hell - possibly due to going out yesterday morning with Graham but I suspect it’s because my fitness levels have dropped off a little.

Nothing like routine!

Although I felt fairly uncomfortable all the way round I ended up doing a half decent pace on my Red Rocks circuit. Bit on the cool side mind.

Duration:25.11 I think it was

Got back from visiting at the hospital and in need of some fresh air so a trot down to Red Rocks was in order. Not quite as nice weather wise as the previous afternoon but not too bad.

Did it in a shade under 26. Must update my stats soon.

Didn’t think I’d get the chance to get out so a 30 minute window was a nice opportunity to sneak out. Red Rocks and back in a shade over 26mins which aint great but will suffice. Nowhere near as windy as the later half of last week but still breezy of course.

Could be a difficult week to find the time this week so we’ll see how it pans out.

Must update my stats …but not now.

No rain but plenty of wind on this Red Rocks plod. So windy running along the prom to Kings Gap that it was nearly blowing me back toward Meols.

Wasn’t surprised that total time was a slow 27:02 - even though I got blown home I’d lost ages of time on the outward leg.

Not much to say so here’s the stats:

Ventured out into the late, cold afternoon …but not for too long. Actually, whilst it was chilly it wasn’t that bad and my hat and gloves kept Jack Frost away from some of me.

Bit slower than yesterdays effort.

Always my barometer of form I had a bash at my Red Rocks loop for my first run of the year.

Nice to see a bit of an improvement after recent plods - nothing amazing but on the way back.

For ‘08 I’ll be dropping some of the stats. I’ll still be recording kcals and HRs in my google doc but won’t bother detailing them here ordinarily.
