Made up for the blank weekend, just back from a 10.7km run this month. I'm not just shy of 75km for the month. So a measly 2.5km a day will get me to my target.
Although I stopped running almost completely between September and the start of this month, I was running quite frequently between April and mid-August last year, culminating in the sub 50 minute 10km I did at a local event in July. Last year, it took me a long time until I was able to start running much more than 5km, whereas this month I've gotten to a position where I've run a 10km with just two and a half weeks of dedicated running. So I think I just have retained at least some of the running fitness I had last summer, it just needed unlocking with a few quick runs. The quick progress I've made has made me think about potentially entering a half marathon either later this year or in 2025.
