Yesterday was my first official run. I say official, because I have previously made some pitiful attempts and given up, preferring the sanctuary of a hot bath and Sky Plus.
But after a visit from some encouraging folk at Active Derbyshire (plus a load of free pedometers thrown in for me and my delighted colleagues), I felt ready to hit the road.
I live in Sheffield, about a mile from the train station which I walk to and from each day. Realising that I have the will power of a ravenous lion faced with its first meal in weeks, I knew that if I didn’t incorporate my run into my daily routine, it just would not get done.
There are less than eight weeks until the big 10k, and I am hideously underprepared. I am, however, eager to go on with the endorphins just about fading from last nights small, but successful sprint.
But I do have a question - does running on the spot count? Ok two questions - is a treadmill as effective for training as running au naturel, so to speak?
I am going to see 127 hours tonight, so will probably suspend my next run until tomorrow.
