I went for my fourth run in two weeks today. That may not sound like much but it certainly felt like it! Today for the first time since starting running again, again, I felt like I was actually running rather than trundling along leaning forwards and hoping that my legs move on before my face buries itself in the dirt. Anyway, today I ran quite fast for 20 minutes which was somewhat of a milestone I suppose.

I was originally trying to find a link describing the half walking, half running shuffle that usually forms the majority of my “running”. The only problem is I can’t remember what on Earth you would call it but I do know that the SAS use it to conserve energy on long, fast treks. If anybody reads this and knows what I’m talking about please leave a comment!

Along a vaguely similar, sporting line, le Tour has started. Which is good. I’ve read some interesting stuff about it already so I might prepare a post at some point…

Incidentally, for those who may not realise constraints on running speed made by the human body, I didn’t run 22 miles today, I probably haven’t even run 22 miles this year. 22 Mile of Hard Road is a bonus disc for this album by a band called Eels.
