Hey all!
After my half marathon last week I really feel like I have recovered a lot quicker than ever before (must be the sea air) managed a 6 mile run on Wednesday and a 5 mile run on Saturday. Let me tell you it’s not easy running abroad though, with the heat and humidity especially after a few glasses of wine the night before ha ha!! But got my stuff on and went for it, this time it’s a run with an amazing view though, which helps!
I don’t think I have done anything different this time, hopefully it’s just my body getting used to the half marathon distance. I do think though after a half it’s great to get back out there to do a recovery run as soon as you feel ready.
The only thing I haven’t been doing since my half is stretching properly, I need to get back in to my routine of doing this when I’m back home but hey I’m on holiday so I’m not going to beat myself up!
Some people might think it’s mad that I’m taking my running stuff on holiday with me (I thought that once upon a time ha ha) but it’s a way of life now and I feel as long as I do it early before the day starts with the children, it doesn’t take up any of my holiday time with my family.
I think I’ve just been talked into doing another half at the end of May arrghhhhh that means 5 now before the end of July! But I know it’s a good thing as the training for my marathon will start soon, so I need to get used to the long miles!
If you have any questions you want to ask or you’d like me to add anything to my blog please let me know.
Hope you all have a good week!
