I was telling myself that my Leamington runs - once or twice a week - and the amount of walking I do - would make up for falling down on my 4x per week 3-mile runs. But I knew I was lying to myself.
Hopefully, this blog, as well as my Twitter & Facebook postings, will restore my motivation.
If I'd been keeping up with runs, since September 2016, this would have been Yr 5 wk 50 run 198.
Anyway, I did the run and here it is:
3.08 mi run - #Runkeeper http://rnkpr.com/ah2to3l
38 mins 08 secs is pretty poor. That is 12 mins 0.69 secs per mile.
I'm still hoping to reclaim my glory days of a 10 min mile, achieving a time of 30 mins.
One day.
I had been feeling blue about my time, until I scrolled back through my run times since September 2016: all 82 of them that were tracked by Runkeeper - yes I'm OCD enough to keep a log of my runs - and I found that on 22 occasions I'd achieved 12 mins 20 secs, or worse.
The dates of these poor runs ranges from:
26th Sept 2016,
19th Oct,
8th & 9th Nov
16th & 17th Nov
25th Jan 2017
6th, 7th, 8th & 9th March
13th & 14th March
11th May
18th & 19th May
25th May
26th & 27th June
12th June
22nd June
I can't see any rhyme or reason to the variation.
These poor times go from 12.20mins to 13.29mins, with everything in between.
