 A different route home... Just for kicks! | The second of June has not proved to be any less unseasonal in terms of climate! An extremely windy day meant my cycle commute was... exciting to say the least. I took an alternative route home, not because I thought it would be less windy but because it involved using slightly less busy roads and so I thought it might be just a touch safer. Going into the wind all the way, I'm certainly glad that it's at least downhill on the way home! |
On a Tuesday this time last year, I'd have been dashing off to a track session at the Ethiad with Salford Harriers. While I am still firmly running in the red with white stripe, I've been doing an evening course that runs on Tuesdays so I've not been able to make it for tooooo long. I did, however, manage to squeeze (literally!) in to a 15 minute 'Awesome Abs' class at the gym before knocking out a 5k at marathon practice pacing speed. I have the treadmill set to 8.9km/ph, which I'm sure is right, but the Garmin (which is, to be fair, only going form cadence I believe with no GPS data) seems to think I'm going quicker than that. An average of 10:35 minute miles isn't too far off the 10:52 I'm supposed to be at though I guess so I'll have to make do with that for now!
Treadmill 5k for pace practice... Treadmill says 8.9km/ph. Garmin clearly disagrees!
