The bad weather has continued here in sunny Auckland so I did my 10K run in the gym today.
Instead of listening to music I listened to a Phedippidations podcast. You can find them here. It was about how we are designed to run without shoes and that wearing shoes actually damages our feet. That may be so but I think I’ll stick to my shoes for now. I think the podcast is actually better than music as you have to focus more so the tedium of the treadmill is not quite as oppressive.
I did a few fartlek sessions where I sped up quite considerably for 200m then slowed back down for 200m and so forth. Hopefully that helps to build a bit of speed stamina.
My wife has become addicted to running as well. It’s been really nice running with her while she does her C25K sessions. She did her run in the gym this morning after her exercise circuit which was rather amazing to me as she is normally absolutely buggered after that. She must have been really keen to run today. Visit her site and cheer her on! And yes, she is working on a guest post to give her perspective on my fitness quest. 
Sheamus has a competition going on at the moment at his site. He has an aim of running for 365 days straight and he’s doing pretty well so far! He’s just set a new personal best for the 5K so go along and cheer him on!
UPDATE: The lovely Marshmallow has helped me solve the disappearing comments situation. I think it’s fixed now. My openid plugin was sending comments into the ether so it’s been deleted.
