I went for a run. First in 8 months? It's got to be something like that.
Full lap of the park running and then two more mostly walking with some running interspersed.
More like jogging to be honest, one gear above walking.
It's a start.
Plus I probably ought to get some new shoes. And knees. And hips. And my lungs felt totally fucked. My watch wasn't charged either so I can't accurately say what my VO2 Max was but i can more or less guess that my running age is around 397.
Work to do.
Finally wearing shorts. Feeling happy to run and not freeze 😁
Workout was nice:
- 10' warmup
- 2x (20' @ 4:30ish steady pace, 3' slower up to 05:40)
- 2x (5' go fast, did 04:05-04:07, 3' slow jog)
- 10+ mins cooldown
The first Primrose (Primula). Spring is coming!!
“Primula” derives from “prima” (“the first” in English) because it’s the first flower to flourish after winter.
