Well I moaned about not doing any speed training last post, so I thought I'd try and do something about it. On my own. In a oark with people watching me, thinking I'm deranged or something. Good grief that was tough. Ripping off a #avaac session, I did 40 mins of 600m (ish - 3/4 of #cyfarthapark lake) followed by 200m (ish - the rest of the lake) very easy. Wasn't too bad, managing around 5.3 miles but good god was I tired after. My cool down jog may as well have been a crawl. Also I made 2 mistakes, firstly not leaving quite enough time after eating. Secondly wearing last years #cardiffhalf shirt which is very... snug and makes me look even more like a whale than normal. I do think this is what's missing from my training at the mo, so will soldier on! #instarunner #instarunnerswales #Aberdare #aberdarevaac #avaac #runnersofinstagram #running #diabetic #diabeticrunner #type1 #type1diabetic #irunwales #runwales #run #race #imoveme #merthyrtydfil #merthyr #forerunner #diabetesuk #diabetes #type1diabetes #runningcommunity #wales #welsh #fat (at Cyfarthfa Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/By4kYhCnepy/?igshid=e6xu5k0jm8tg
