ANATOMY OF A RUN

Apart from garrotting the Trainer Fairy, this week I bought new running pants (tracksters?) in some hi-tech sweat-evaporating material and some yo-hot blister plasters. Gawd – the funky paraphernalia involved in putting one foot in front of the other. I was going to provide the inside track of a run in the life of a walk/run charader, but I have a work crisis and must get on.

Back in my good ol’ trusted Mikuno trainers with blistered feet swathed in bandages to dispatch Week 10. Three weeks to go!

Stats (I feel I am slowly earning the right to use this word…)

Week 10 of 13. 22 minutes run. 1 minute walk. 22 minutes run. 45 minutes. Session 3 of 3. Walk pace: 4.5 km/h. Run pace: 6.8 km/h.

LOOK WHAT THE TRAINER FAIRY BROUGHT!

State-of-the-art kit…

…and a pair of free socks thrown in….

The socks are artfully angled not for the sake of gratuitous artful angling, but to draw attention to the fact that the socks are emblazoned with ‘LONDON MARATHON’ at the top in lovely red/blue letters. A microscope may well come in handy…
