4 Mile Run = Home - Woodhouse - Smalley Cross - Home
Date: 23rd August 2006
Conditions: Mild, Raining
Notes: This was my first timed run. I ran the first mile easily at a good pace. This was however, a fatal rookie error. As I began my second mile, which was a decent down wood lane, I began to feel a burning in between my calf muscle and my ankle. I have a feeling this may be down to my running shoes. This is something I need to look into soon if I am to shift this problem.
By the time I came to the hill halfway through the second mile I could feel my calf’s burning. As I started to ascend up the hill the pain was unbearable so I had to stop and walk to the top. I still managed to reach the two mile checkpoint in sub ten minutes.
The same happened with mile three. I had to stop to walk up a hill and amazingly ran the mile in exactly the same split as mile two.
The final mile was really hard. The huge hill leading up to Smalley Village was a killer and again I had to walk a majority of it. I completed the mile in just over ten minutes and as the pain got more intense towards the end I simply imagined I was running that final mile at the end of the Marathon with the crowd cheering. In all I think a respectable time.
I have fifteen months of training so I am not worried that I had to walk some of this first run. If I run the marathon at this pace I will be looking at a sub four hour time.
Positive: I finished the run.
Negative: I had to stop three times.
Fast Mile: 7.26 (PB)
Slow Mile: 10.17
Run time: 0h36m04s
