After a long run yesterday I, not for the first time, rather madly went to BMF for my recovery work out. I did however take the car because although my legs felt fine they drew the line at cycling in the cold. I thought it would be good to give them a chance of trying BMF without the warm up cycle to see if they fared any better. They didn’t. But I really think that a BMF class after a long run is very good experience of what it feels like to try and run on absolute empty. And when we were having that final sprint to the end I told myself it was like the last 6 miles of a marathon as my eyes went blurred and I came over dizzy. Fortunately today it was only a few hundred yards dash to a lamppost. I did get there first, but then all the faster runners had a handicap of having to do twice as many burpees than me before the dash to the line!
The good bit, as well as the hot chocolate afterwards, is that tomorrow is a rest day (from running) to look forward to.
Janathon day 27. 1 BMF class (3 miles run plus a few other forms of overexertion)

The mind boggles over the ‘overexertions!’

12 miles late on Sunday followed by BMF Monday morning – My legs are tired just thinking about it!
