So, now my GetRunning couch to 5k programme has finished I need to do something else to get my Saturday 5ks' easier and faster. The creator of the app kindly gave me some tips, one of which I tried out this morning. I set my runkeeper to tell me as each minute passed so I jogged for 1 minute then ran fast the next. This worked quite well for the first 9 minutes then I had to walk for 2 minutes as I was knackered! It was also really hot at 7.30 this morning. After a couple of minutes walk I started up the slowjog/fast run again until I hit the station carpark. I was really quite amazed and very pleased with myself for doing the fastest time on this route by 38 seconds! Tomorrow I have a long run to do so I will do a bit of research to work out what I am going to do. In the meantime, my Colorado friend, here is my food diary for yesterday :-)
