rmcf_walks12.2 miles in 180:45 => 14.9 min/mile
Fractionally slower than last time, not bad for the extra distance.
I handled the aftermath a lot better this time: didn't rush to eat or drink anything until after I'd stretched and showered and then just eased my way in by putting drinks and a sensible snack to hand while getting on with something else - sure enough my body took over and took drinks as it needed, and then food.
I procrastinated getting started yesterday; I felt a bit headachy and worried I had a migraine, which would mean not going. Eventually I figured out I was nervous about feeling ill again afterwards. Then I managed to talk myself up into going (if I did have a migraine I was going to feel ill anyway, so I might as well get some training in while I was at it) and of course it went much better.
Weekday walks:
Mon 23:55 => 14.6 min/mile
Tue 25:30 (carrying a charity bag, couldn't powerwalk) => 15:5 min/mile
Wed 22:48 => 13.9 min/mile
Thu 22:43 => 13.9 min/mile
Fri 22:46 => 13.9 min/mile
I'm still delighted about breaking 14 min/mile, and continuing to do so consistently for the rest of the week.
