First 'Galloway' style run ...

And I'm undecided.

I just did 30 minutes in the 'Galloway' style ... that is, I ran for 4 minutes and then walked for one.

And in the 30 minutes, I travelled 4.8kms

It's hard to say what I would have run if I'd done a 'straight' run ... it was, after all, an afternoon run (always slower for me) and only my second 'real' run in weeks. But I suspect I was a few minutes faster than I would have been if I had done my usual run.

In fact, if I compare today's data with the same run in October (before my achilles problems really bit) my first 3k was much faster - and the last 2k was about the same.

Having said that, I didn't get the same satisfaction I would have from running, uninterrupted, for 5km.

So I dunno.

I'll give it another try on Thursday - preferably in the morning - and see how I go.
