I really enjoyed this run. Apart from some stiffness in the Achilles tendon half way through the run was niggle free.

I decided that it was best to drop down to 6 minute runs. These ended been a decent pace as my final time shows. I felt like I was really working in the run but not exhaustively so.

I also started running 5 minutes a bit earlier as well. So all round it was good.

I increased my pace a bit after 30 minutes of running. This continued to a quicker pace when reaching the 6 minutes mark.

During the last 30 minutes of my run I felt I was running properly. It was a great feeling. I realised that just to be able to run at a decent pace is wonderful. There is no need to keep expecting more and more which is sometimes my natural tendency. Its about having a different mindset. I feel for now up to 6 minutes for my maximum split, and going at a quicker tempo suits me better.
I didn't run on Monday. I felt I needed a rest. My Calf muscles and leg muscles felt they needed a decent amount of time to recover.

I might switch my runs to having 3 days off each run possibly 4.
