Last night on the way home from work I did a detour to make the journey up to five miles. Half way through I had to start walking. Bought a couple of chocolate bars and munched them to get my energy up. A drink might have been a better idea. Completed the run but very weary, running for a bit then plodding. Early to bed.
This morning resting heart rate is 62 beats per minute, that's about 20 above my base rate. Time for a recovery day.
Shows how far I am from full fitness. Today is Friday so I'll do a ten miler Saturday and Sunday and make sure I just sleep loads and eat right.
On a different subject, I'm correcting the final version of Road to Endorphia, the book about the John O'Groats to Lands End run. Once it's finished I'm going to publish on Amazon where it will be available as a Kindle eBook.
OK, let's go. Takin' it eazy.
