Don't run before you can walk (and run)

This week has been a complete struggle! After last week's excellent performance I found my runs this week very demanding, so much so I don't really feel I have gained much. I have also felt the need to incorporate some walking into my runs.

Bugger. I thought I was doing so well too...

Well, here are my stats:

Run 1, Thursday:
Distance: 3.4km
Time: 22min
Avg. Speed: 9.3km/h
Avg. Pace: 6.5min/km

Run 2, Sunday:
Distance: 4.5km
Time: 27min
Avg. Speed: 10km/h
Avg. Pace: 6min/km

OK, hold on... I just need to double check my calculations... Oh! OK, so my second run wasn't too bad after all! Considering I had to walk for a minute half way through that's actually a pretty good pace! Go me!

One thing that has bothered me this week has been feeling ill during my runs: on thursday I had half a pint of milk an hour before my run, and on Sunday I had spag bol 2 hours before my run. I'm thinking more time/smaller meals are needed? Although I mist admit my 7.5k run from last week was fueled by a Chicken Royale, a Big King, small fries and a regular coke 5 hours earlier (don't judge me!!).
