Fifty-seventh parkrun
Feb. 18th, 2017 10:50 amA good time this week, finishing in 19:54 — two seconds off my PB and my first sub-20 run since the summer — despite having the remnants of a cold. I'm not sure I can take full responsibility for my time: I've got a new treatment regime for what the doctor suspects may be EIB; it certainly seems to have improved my aerobic capacity while I'm running and improved my recovery afterwards.
I've still had a little bit of post-run cough — the problem I went to the doctor about — but that might be the cold or it might the be the remnants of the untreated EIB from previous weeks or it might be perfectly normal for someone who has run a sub-20 5K. But despite that, I've noticed that my chest is much clearer, breathing is much easier, and there isn't anything like the same level of tightness that I've had in recent weeks.
