Just ran 5 miles with my friend Sara who is struggling with some knee pain (which is why she is running with me as she is usually way faster!).
I had the
not so brilliant idea to run intervals in the middle. My goal was 3 - 1/2 mile intervals with 1/2 mile jogs in between. Not so much. I did 2. The first averaged about 3:50 and the second 4:00. This shows you how out of shape I am. I was blitzed after two so didn't do the third. I also felt like I was going to puke because I ate too much beforehand.
I noticed that last January my runs were averaging 45 seconds/mile faster than my last few runs. Granted I took off about 3 months at end of last year. But also I didn't run any 5k's last year which I had done the year before. I don't know, maybe I'm being too hard on myself and not giving myself enough time to work back up. All I really do know is that I am out of shape. :(
