And just like that I’ve finished week 4 of C25K! It’s been a tough week running wise. Today’s run was better than Wednesday but my legs felt tired. I think it is my legs getting tired rather than running out of puff (as my grandpa would say). Might try to add more stretches to rest days. Or actually get the foam roller out this weekend. I have been threatening my legs for a while with it but keep putting it off. Or look at what I’m eating – perhaps I need to re-jig my macros (or at least record my macros so I can see where I’m at).

Good news continues on the fitness front in that my resting heart rate is still going down. I’m averaging about 2bpm drop ever 3 days. I’m not sure how much of this is the exercise and how much is the less stressful life of working from home. But it seems to be good for me.

This weekend I think I will concentrate on stretches, strength training and psyching myself up for week 5! I’ve not looked yet what the runs are like for next week. Let’s hope it’s not too radial an upshift.
