Hi TheEd,
Havent been doing alot of running due to being ill
, i was feeling tired all the time and attended the doctor who took blood and said that my sugar level was low, as was my pulse rate.He got me back a week later and said my low pulse was due to my fitness level and that my sugars were back to normal, putting it down to a virus which had passed through.
Anyway, i've entered for 2 10ks coming up,one on the last Sunday of August and the other a week later.(Paisley and Glasgow)
I've not done much at all so I went out yesterday and done a 10k just to get back into things(not a race,just myself on a measured route) and done it in 46.30 at what felt like a relatively high tempo without trying too hard.
Im not ready to put in the effort for sessions yet and will probably do start them next week, maybe 6x 1k@4 or 3x2k @8mins and see how i feel, what do u think??
p.s. Although i ran 46.30, i feel that i've not lost much as usually on that route when i "try" i do around 44mins, then when i race, i go quicker,last 2 being under 42mins. Thanx 4 your help .
