Three running sessions done during the working week, two of them were Hill sessions, and on the lap hill of yesterday's second hill session, I felt a slight twinge in the hamstring. I instantly dropped to a walking pace and jogged back to work.
I suspect doing even one hill session on your first week is not overly sensible, so doing two was pushing it - I think I got away with it but I will know when I aim to run/walk for an hour on Sunday morning.
The aim going forward is to take advantage of any workdays where I am not doing the school run, to get into work like I did on Monday ultra-early, and go for a run around the city.
In terms of my January 10k steps challenge, Thursday I was a couple of hundred steps shy of the target but yesterday I comfortably beat it with 12.2k, so the deficit (caused by the first three days of the month) has reduced from 13.4k to just 2.5k.
With me not planning to run on a Saturday this month, today is the day where the greatest risk of a big daily failure could happen and it might be big enough not be recovered by tomorrow's long run.
