10K training run W5D2 (#fiftyrunstillmay 2/50)
I decided to rename my running story. My only idea was to call it 10K training run with the number of the week and the day of the week because that way, people know where I am in my training. I also decided to put the hashtag #fiftyrunstillmay in the title. @wolfje told me about this challenge and even if it's probably too late to be part of it, I will put the hashtag just to support people and help me keep running during the long winter months!
Actually I write this post today but I ran yesterday and this is again a change of plan. Wednesday I decided to skip a session due to my sickness but yesterday morning I was feeling great and the good weather encouraged me to run. So I ran Wednesday, Friday and I will run Sunday. My 3 sessions are just close to each other.
My second training of the week 5 was a long fartlek. After a warm up of 25 minutes, I did 3x1000m at a 3'54"/km pace with 4' of rest between. I ended my session with 15 minutes of cool down and some stretching.
It was the first time I had to do a distance this long at my 10 kilometers objective pace. It was not so difficult but the rest was long and I think it will be much shorter in a few sessions. I was worried at the beginning because I felt a small pain at my left knee. I hope it will not be there tomorrow!

See you tomorrow for the next run ;)
Good to have you on board and good luck! Not easy to achieve 50 till May now, but the harder the challenge the better you'll feel at the end!
If I keep up with 3 runs a week, it will reach 50 before the end of March :) But that's the point, keep up with 3 runs a week :p
That's what this challenge is all about and motivate one another to keep it up 😉
