Sometimes you gotta change things around to get gains... able to do two 6kms runs two days apart with ease with change in training techniques- how ? Aquarobics for faster recovery! Now am interspersing treading water and other exercises I used to do during waterpolo training days on off running-days...seems easier to run nowdays than to tread water !
Seems like a lifetime ago that it was easier to swim than to run ...

Stepping up
Its now week three and its time to step up the mileage. Took an easy 10K and completed it in 1.3 hours. Not bad considering the fact that I have not run for more than 5K for almost a year.
Good thing that I was able to keep a steady pace with ease-now to focus more on speedwork for the next few weeks as the MD footy tournament will take place at the end of the month.

Its been raining all week
Yup that means there was no roadwork either. Hit the stairs all of last week :-)
No gym either due to the shoulder injury.
Took a lazy 6.5km this morning - took 50 mins to cover it. Long way back from where I was two years but am sticking to the plan as I want to keep 2011 injury free!
Gonna do a bit of hiking tomorrow to break the monotony - its been boring climbing stairs for 7 days.
Lets see what happens on Friday-the day where I step it up to 8km. Am targeting just over 70 mins ( hopefully )
