Juneathon Begins

What is Juneathon?
All details here http://www.juneathon.com/

While the rules have  changed  you don't  have to run  every day. You can  cycle  or do other stuff. I am  going  to run  because I am a runner.
Oh yes

While I have already  started a  streak (there I said it) i'm slightly  cheating but  hopefully  gives  me some more  motivation to continue. The hard bit will be  to blog every day telling you all (yes you) about it all.

Today  4 weeks away from a 10km  race I have  planned meant  I should  do a long run. Meant  maybe some walk breaks
So I had a look in The Van Aaken Method to get some ideas

I decided to do
10 x 350metres run, 50 metres walk
5000metres running

Than would  add up to 5.59 miles (was planning on  5 miles) Sod it  i'll do this anyway
So I did
First part is  ok doesn't feel hard getting a little  walk break breaks it  up and  doesn't  feel hard. The 5km run was supposedly to be 4 minutes slower than  best pace (30 minutes) I ran it in about 32:50 so a little quicker  but I felt ok.
19.3 miles for the week

For fans of this  blog notice my last entry was Monday. Heres an update  of my week since then
Tues 2.24 miles (post nightshift) managed a bit  more than expected)
Weds 1.56 miles  (post nightshift) cut short as felt a slight twinge in knee played safe
Thurs 2.33 miles felt better after a good sleep
Fri 2.39 miles a lot uphill but a good run
Sat parkrun 29:39 quicker than last week warmer and more runners in attendance
