Over a minute improvement

Just back from a 3 mile run and I shaved 1 minute 11 seconds off last week's time. Today I did it in 23:53. Not mind blowingly fast, but a step in the right direction. I think my best time ever was around 21 minutes, a couple of years ago. So still room for more improvement.

This is going to sound a bit too run-geeky, but I read up on running technique and put a few pointers into practice today - and they obviously have worked. Some of the tips included: leaning forward more while running, shorter and quicker stride, not landing on my heel but rather on the mid foot.

Ah it's only Tuesday and I've already a swim and a run complete. Feels good to have them out of the way!!
