A streak runner?
When on Tuesday 11th September I started going for a run alter fifteen days without going for a run and very few runs in the summer, I didn’t think I could go for a run two consecutive days but, oddly enough, I’ve managed to go out for fourteen days feeling great. I decided to do at least twenty minutes each day and I’m feeling great. Some days, I went for a swim after the run with my friend Antonio G. or even on my own. It is a wonderful way to do some stretching. Most days I’ve just done five or six kilometres. One day I just did 3 kilometres nut another day I did 11 kilometres with my friend Rafael. I even took part in a 10 km race last Saturday. It was the Marca running series in Almería. I did the 10 km race. Its course is near the Mediterranean games stadium. We had to do two laps. I managed to do the first two kilometres at a 5´50´´ pace but I had to slow down finishing the 10 km in 61 minutes but having good sensations. Today, I did 7 hilly kilometres in the outskirts of Almería with Rafael and afterwards we went to his house where we did some workouts in his garage where he has some gym pieces of apparatus. I’d love to be able to be a streak running until Almería half marathon next January.
I’ve noticed that I need to do more workouts regularly and lose some weight if I really want to reach my under two hour objective at Almería half marathon. In fourteen days I’ve done 87 kms. It’s an average of 43.5 km every week. If I manage to increase a few kilometres each weak and I reach 50-60 kms a week in one month, do some speed running and I’m lucky with injuries, I think I could succeed in my aim.
