Why don't they have decent air con in the gym? The heat really got to me today and I struggled to make the 4 miles I needed to do. I did get there after 40 minutes but I was very dizzy afterwards. Reckon overheating isn't a good idea!

So today was scheduled to be a slightly easier day as I only had to do 3 miles. But as I get a whole day off tomorrow and 3 miles is getting a bit easy (yeah right) I decided I'd better put a little incline on the treadmill. Newcastle isn't flat you know! I managed 1.5 miles at my normal speed with an incline setting of 0.5 (wimpy I know) and then struggled to make the next 1.5 miles to make up my total of 3. I did it with no stops and felt thoroughly shattered afterwards. Guess it was worth it then.

Ran 4.5 miles today in 45 minutes. Should find it easy to run the 3 miles scheduled for tomorrow. No muscle pain today but beginning to think that sports drinks may be a good idea as I seemed to be lacking energy towards the end of this run.

Ran my first 4 miles today at Bridgend Esporta. Getting easier to run the first 3 now. Lets see if I can run the same distance again tomorrow.
