6 Minutes

So, the day before yesterday I started running again.  I really didn't want to revert to running even less than I was when I twisted my ankle so I decided to run for 6 minutes (four times) with unlimited walking inbetween.  The first two runs were grand.   Ran, walked, watched the barges and the rowers out on the river.  The second two were considerably harder.  When the countdown alarm went off at the end of the last run I was very relieved.  And beetroot faced.  Really beetroot faced.  Of course it has also been very, very warm here.  But I fear that wasn't really the reason.

 

But none the less the runs were completed in reasonable form and I was very happy.

 

Two days later, my thighs are still sore and I am meant to run this evening.  So here's the dilemma.  How much running should I do and how much walking?  According to the plan I should run 6 mins and walk 2 mins.  Shall I just try this anyway and see how it goes?  I could always increase the walk times to 4 mins if its proving too difficult.  And at least it is much cooler today.
