Huffing & puffing

6.7km loop 29:48.

What an effort. seem to be developing a cold the last day or too so perhaps that explains the time. Really laboured in my chest, felt like I only had one lung in terms of breathing, when I get  a cold my asthma kicks in & I'm only using maybe 60% of my lung capacity, pain in the ass.

Didn't particularly enjoy the run but it had to be done. That's running sometimes it's not that enjoyable but its all part of what makes the really good sessions all that more enjoyable, live to fight another day.

Still great to be able to get out there & do it. 13:42 where I'm normally 13:20 so it wasn't an absolute embarassment, but then faded badly in the last 15 mins or so, I always felt like I wasn't gonna get my 2nd wind, sometimes you hear your chest & you know its gonna be a laboured run home!

no discomfort  in the legs this time wore my new shoes that I'd been breaking in all week so that was great (same as the last pair -  karrimor run black (sportsdirect €32 - I would invest in a decent pair of asics but with my extreme over pronation the heel is gone in 3-6 months for me) why break a winning formulae)

Hope to run sunday morning (changing schedule to fit around work as you do).
