So I had my first run on Monday Nice and steady listening to a podcast also detoured and picked up a free surfboard
Today tried to do a work out 2x 800m with 3 mins recovery at target 5k pace (4 min kms) Absolute disaster got to around 4:15 pace at my fastest felt like I was about to die pulled the pin at 400m had my three minutes then went for broke again felt like a turtle I was going so slow pulled it up at 400m as well then walked jogged the block licking my wounds
Humbled apparently I can’t run 4 minute km pace second run back in the saddle.
(Proof of run to come once my Garmin will connect) More to come!

Ha yeah. Keep at it, days on and off become contagious. I did my first speed workout in a few months (battling really bad plantar fasciitis & a heal spur), but I’ve got the 5 year streak of running at least a 5k daily outside, so I’m battling through it. I’ve been averaging 35-40 mile weeks. I’ll be doing some 5k’s come spring!

You are way, way, ambitious trying to go 4min/km (even though for a relatively short 800m) on your second run back after a long hiatus from running. I know it's a speed workout, but maybe try 5min/km first? Take the time to train up to 4min/km. I'm sure with sufficient training, you can still do what you did back in highschool, but maybe not on the second run back, haha.

Shouldn't be hard to get back into shape if you used to run. Especially if you ran when you were young. Good luck and happy running!
