Boy am I happy with this afternoon's efforts. A little concerned I may have overdone it and will pay in the next few days but exhilarated for the time being.
In advance of family's annual summer exodus decided to start the intended exercise heavy period with a 10k. Probably my first ever and quite happy with the result. Finished in 98 minutes with average speed of 6.8k. Jogged the last 300 with a final straight 100m sprint at 10kmph. Plan now to cool down and add a 50 minute session and see what I can achieve with a relatively warmed up start.
The power of second wind. Still warm I managed to start with a 4 minute jog at 8.5. Maintain 6.5 most of the session and finish with a 6 minute jog at 8. Overall average 7.3kmph. Legs feeling pretty heavy so plenty of stretching and fluids on the way.
Great to work up a real sweat in the gym without the need for the steam room - plenty calories burnt off so will enjoy my curry dinner and a glass or three of red tonight!
