Steady Away

A couple of easy runs on the canal over the last couple of days. About 6 miles each.

It's funny now that an easy run is a 6 mile run at 7:30. A year ago this would have been the hardest run I'd have done all week!

On Sunday (after my long run on Saturday morning), I was pleased that my legs felt good, albeit a little stiff. I was refereing my daughter's football match, so decided to run a mile or so to warm up. I try and stay with the action in the game, so it ends up being 2 x 30 min fartlek sessions, with lots of sprints up and down the field. I wore my Garmin to keep the time, but switched the GPS on (sligtly odd I know). I ran about 1.5 miles in each of the 30 min halves, but it felt a lot harder than that.

Even with the warm, I very slight pulled groin muscle (left side) which I've watched since. It seems ok when I run in straight line (as opposed to sideways or backwards) so hopefully will be ok for track tomorrow.
