Went for a 3 mile run today - in the rain. Although it is better than in the snow, and actually better than in the sun. And better than in the wind. Better than in the dry??? Mmmm - not sure. In a strange way I don't feel so thirsty when it's raining so perhaps rainy runs really are my favourite.
I felt my right calf strain a little not far into the run, and it has tightened up a bit since I've got back. Will have to apply a cold patch.
I tried something out today with my stride length - shortened and quicker strides. Just to see if my legs felt fresher. And they did, but my time was 10 seconds slower than last week. So perhaps not much point in it. But I remember trying it out when I did a couple of half marathons in 2008 and it definitely made a difference. I might give it another go.
Swim tomorrow and then a run on Saturday or Sunday.
Well, thanks for reading.
Look after yourself.
