My run training technique of ‘doing very little running’ seems to be working still!<\/p>\n
I would have thought that i’d need to do somewhere around 2-4 runs per week to see any improvement in my spee. I’ve only been doing that per month but still I seem to be getting better.<\/p>\n
I’ve just got back from doing an hour on the Turbo Trainer followed by a run around my ‘Bird Hide Loop’ course. My previous personal best<\/a> for this 4.8 mile course was 34:54 set just over a month ago. At the time I was pleased with that and even said:<\/p>\n “It’s going to start getting hard to beat that time for me now”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, that was nonsense as I smashed it today with a time of 33:07. It still isn’t going to break any records but with an average pace of 6:54 per mile I’m quite pleased with that time. Especially as I hadn’t managed to go under the 7 min\/mile pace even on a short run since I started running again recently.<\/p>\n So, that’s my new PB for the course, it has almost inspired me to try to do some more running to build on these improvements, but at the moment doing a run less than once a week seems to be working! I guess I’ll have to try to get that down below 33 minutes now.<\/p>\n
