Phew it's been tough going getting out for these runs this early January.
I have only managed three runs since the beginning of the year, and only three short runs to boot, and I've switched to the early evenings around 17.00 for these, as it just suits my mood better.
I just cannot face getting up at 6.00 and heading out for 7.00 in this cold and dark it's just so much easier doing an evening run when it's mid-winter....
For the three runs I did I managed one nice pace run and the other two a bit faster, old habits die hard. Well, not even that fast, but high heart rate.
I put it down to the cold, it's tough going!
3RD Jan 5K
0 degrees after a hard day's work, took it nice and easy...
Relatively low HR...
8th Jan Run...
Still cold, and a bit faster....

Coldest yet, - 1 degrees! Coldest run ever? Maybe!
I ended up going a bit faster
Relatively high HR!
Early Jan Runnnings final thoughts...
It's been cold, it's been all work work work, it's been dark frankly I'm happy to have got three post-work runs in at all.
This week it's a bit warmer, it'll still be dar, but 4-5 degrees is MUCH more doable!
