After increasing the distance from 2.25 miles, in week 1, to 3.2 miles in week 2, I completed 4 runs in week 2. In week 3 i stuck to the same distance of 3.2 miles but by the third run of the week the calf muscles were struggling and painful. Sacrificing fat burning, I decided to take the hints from the body and stop running for a few days, to allow some recovery.
Run #4 Was replaced by two laps walking around Preston Dock.
Week #3 Run #1. Accompanied by friend, Stu Smith, with conversation a welcome distraction from a few aches and pains that I am still concerned about, but the end result was a steady pace throughout, only one or two walking intervals.
Week 3
Mond: Run#1: (2.85miles) 29min 45s
Tues: Run#2: (3.2miles) 34 mins 05s
Thurs: Run#3: (3miles) 33min 35s
Frid: Sore legs; Rest for 3 days.
