Unusually for me I was up very early (4 a.m.) to watch the UEFA Cup final, and as the treadmill sits pretty much directly in front of the tv, it seemed eminently sensible to get my run done at the same time. And so I did - a 6km tempo run, peaking at a little below race pace. Being such an ungodly hour I had to start very slow, so it took a little over 40 minutes, but reasonably well done in the end I thought.
At the end of the run, which coincided with half time in the match I had just enough time to shower and change and race off to work (6 a.m. start), boot up the machines and switch the work TV on with about a minute to spare before Denisov kicked the first for Zenit. In the end I thought two-nil a fair result, with Rangers never really looking that aggressive, at least to my inexpert eye.
So blimey, two runs into the schedule and they've both been
twirly.
Don't expect this to become habit forming though... I'm still
not a morning person. Although it
is nice not to have to think about it for the rest of the day.
Day 4: 6km, 40 mins.
