Before day break

Went out at 6AM today and did a split run of 400, 800, 1200 and 1600m with a break of about 400m between each.

Realised today that I can get a bit more pace and not get breathless as quickly if I take bigger strides. I've been working on trying to take more weight on to my heels than bouncing off my toes and I think that ties in well with the bigger strides. Just need to build up a consistent technique so it becomes a bit effortless.

Still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do. Need to build up endurance to cover the distance and to not keep slowing down to walking speed!!! Fun weeks ahead...
