Tabata Intervals : Day 10 (Coke-induced Run)

I went out to Wetherspoons last night in Urmston and stayed out until about 1:30am and after drinking 4 cokes it took me forever to get to sleep as my mind was whirring. I still got up at 5am though and did my run. I feel pretty good after it too, maybe I’m still on the sugar high. I feel like I am. I am definitely going to cultivate more running into my routine as time goes on as I love the long natural high and alertness you get after one.

I ran the same track that I did last week. and would give this week a difficulty of 7.5/10. It cannot have a “form” measurement but it’s a definite improvement on last week. I exerted myself less and finished in 18% quicker time.

From my house to the Green Room (See day 3). It only took me 14 minutes this time though rather than about 17 last time and I did not feeel that exerted. Last week was pure hell running in the snow. I got to 100m from my home and full pace sprinted all the way. My lungs feel great at the moment too. I’m anticipating a really tired spell today.

On a side note, I’ve set a new goal to apply for 3 jobs every day and to get to sleep by 9:30pm at nights so I’m ready for the morning exercise and also so that I do not have to sleep during the day. It will also help me fully recover for exercise so I can test my limits. I was going to start yesterday but decided to go out instead and am glad I made the decision. Was partly a decent night. Tomorrow is legs aka the dreaded squats!
