Running is frustrating

So I ran the route of my last post again, and began to stretch out my stride and I felt good all the way round. Felt strong, felt like I had good rhythm and fluency. I was hopeful of a good time. 29 min 36 seconds which means yes I was quicker by 6 seconds. 6 SECONDS!!! I mean that's a slow crossing of the road, it's nothing. How does that work? How can I feel so much better about the run and only run 6 SECONDS quicker? Any ideas?

New quick run

Apparently the club are doing a handicap run soon, so I ran the route. As the slowest member I'll set off first, followed at intervals by the quicker runners. If the splits are right we should all finish in a bunch and the first one home is the winner. I did this 5k and a bit in 29min 42 sec on a first attempt, I should be able to knock a few minutes off that though.

Too icy to run

I have been running and hope to go running tonight, but the last couple of mornings have been too icy to run. When you're just trying to stay upright, going for a 7 mile run isn't too clever.

To the shop and back

Just off out to a run and got a call to go to my shop to sort out the heating. So ran there and back. About 20 minutes each way. So I'm consistently running 10 minute miles on my own...

2nd Club Run

I ran last night with the Shrewsbury Athletics Club for the 2nd time, all this time felt like the real deal with more people and a proper session. Worked me hard and I've taken today as a rest day, but need to get some runs in over the weekend. Still pushed me hard and I can run 7 miles in an hour, question is can do that just under 4 times in a row? We'll find out in April

New run

Latest run

I have been running, just not blogging. Anyway my latest run is here and was my first running with others which was good, stretched me a bit
