Evening running = sleep deprivation

The problem with evening running is that I find it really difficult to sleep. I think I have endorphins kicking around: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphin#Runner.27s_high

 

On the plus side, I did manage 10km again. This time I changed the music from Fatboy Slim to Gatecrasher Trance (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gatecrashers-Trance-Anthems-1993-2009/dp/B001GCWRUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1251187741&sr=1-1). This time I struggled through for the 10km. However, my mental attitude at the start was not as good as Friday and also I tried running with some variable speeds. I broke the hour down as follows:

 

20 mins: 11kph

10 mins: 9kph

10 mins: 10kph

5 mins: 9kph

5 mins: 10kph

5 mins: 9kph

5 mins: 10kph

 

The official stats break down as follows:

 

Session:	10

Approx Time of training:	7:00 PM

So we are down to the final 26 days now. The plan is sometime over the weekend to up the distance significantly. Both Becs & Shikha have suggested long runs to me, so depending on my weekened movements I hope to go for at least one decent run. Not entirely sure what to do for the remainder of the week. Today, I think I will try and go to a Spin class.
