I almost decided to do a run today, but by the time I got to the river trail, I changed my mind. But then as I walked the trail I changed my mind again and ended up with a compromise. I walked past the end of the river trail so I would have at least a clear 2 km stretch before hitting the exit to North Road. Then I started to run, and kept running until I exited the trail.
I only have one full km segment of full-on running that was tracked, but in that one km I averaged a pace of 5:26/km, which kind of shocked me, because that’s a really good pace.
The heel held up fine, though it is, as it has been, a bit sore, especially if I have ironically stayed off it for awhile.
Because of the longer stretch of running, my total average pace was down to 7:43/km. BPM was up a bit, but to be expected with the extra running. Oddly I didn’t feel overly exerted. Maybe these daily walks are actually making me more fit. Who knew! I might also have been helped by the temperature, as it was 21ºC–not exactly frigid, but also not exactly hot, either.
