RE: April Fuels
A ripper, really tough tempo run yesterday, and an almost total lack of muscle soreness today has left me in a great mood, and really looking forward to my recovery run tomorrow, ahead of the weekend long run. Along with growing fitness and developing strength, I think disciplined warm-up and cool-down routines have definitely helped in avoiding injury and minimising general soreness.
I'm also stretching more, although probably not yet enough to see any serious benefit. Rather than stretching religiously before and after a run, which I've always found too boring to do for any more than brief periods of time, I'm slowly building up a small repertoire of standing stretches which I can do easily anywhere, anytime. And so I'm slowly improving by simply doing few stretches in idle moments through the day.
What else? Nope, that's about it. Running, warm-up, cool-down and a few bouts of stretching is about it so far, but it seems to be working. I'll start throwing in some interval sessions soon, and lengthening the long slow runs.
I'm getting there, I really am. It's most encouraging.
