DAY 23

38 minute run. This run was more comfy. Felt like my legs had more rest. 

[Vitamine Water]

DAY 24

65 minute run. I'm totally confused. I ran 11km in 65 minutes in one run without a break. No cramps, not tired, nothing. Last 300-500m or so I did a sprint and I kept fucking running faster and faster until my body was running itself it felt like. Some rambo shit right here for sure.

 I honestly don't understand how things can flip so quick. I guess it adds to the increasing existential confusion that I'm having. Or maybe my ignorance of the subject. Maybe it's good to not think too much, and just, "run"? It feels like I'm overcomplicating things sometimes. 

Yea let's just run dude 

Ps: take a break tomorrow. Wake up at 8 and do a walk. Don't stress your legs. 

Here's two Llamas:

DAY 26

35 minute walk

DAY 27

25 Minute run. I didn't went out running yesterday because I had my very first surfing lesson ?‍♂️. And I gotta say, it was fun as hell!

DAY 28

25 minute run. Very frustrating run both mentally and phisically. It feltike I was running with a block of cheese under my shoes. 

I looked into a running schedule and I think it's wise to stick to that. I might have gone way too hard at the start and not build up slowly. I wanted to be occupied in the morning, do some exercise before work and I think it wasn't my primary goal to slowly build up a running routine. Instead I wanted to challenge myself even more but it worked counter productive I suppose. 

Conclusion is that my feet need WAY more rest than they do now. I read that 3-4 times/week is a healthy routine; with more rest and also running days with different speeds and distances. 

I will run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and see where it goes from there. I want to run 4 days but for now, 3. Saturday and Sunday 2 days rest. Starting this Friday (2 days rest) 

Hope for the best. And if it doesn't work out, im signing up for ballet classes.

Update: I'm back home from a 8 day hike trip in Zwitserland! Today and tomorrow is rest day and Tuesday I'll start the new running routine I wrote about in my last post ✌️

[Vitamine Water]

Week 1, day 2

45 minute run - medium tempo

My schedule advises 3 runs every week. So I will run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Weekend rest. 

The schedule also advises to train stamina, long distances and a few more. Meaning, normal/medium runs, long and slow runs, fast runs and interval runs. 

The goal is to be comfortable running a 15km. According to the schedule it will take about 13 weeks, but we'll see. I just want to be more healthy and comfortable while running.

Day 2 (Wednesday) 

Interval training, 5x 3 min run/3 min break 

Damn this one was hard! I never thought doing 3 minute sprints was so exhausting haha. The temperature outside didn't really help too but damn. I really needed those 3 minute breaks in between!

Whoops, I see now that I forgot to post my last run last Friday. 

Week 2

Day 3 (Friday) 

65 minutes, slow tempo

 

[Vitamine Water]

Week 3

Day 1 (Monday) 

60 minute run, medium tempo

I ran 8km in a relatively fast tempo, which was nice! These one day breaks in between runs is so helpful for recovery. I barely felt any leg cramps or pain so far. I'm tired after runs, especially the fast and medium tempo runs, but in a healthy way. More sweat and less tears let's say ?
