Yeah, sorry about that. I realised about 30 minutes ago that the last few years I seem to have become... is sportive the right word? I suppose it is.
But don't you get the same average? Your average is somewhat lower, but you run a bigger distance. I doubt I'd do 8 km in 40 minutes (I suppose you don't either, but you can see where I'm going with this).
You did about 8 in 43 minutes the other week, right? 57 minutes seems quite reasonable. Too bad about those 3 seconds, though. >.<
I did 5 yesterday and I've got some serious odd pains today. I think I'll skip this weekend, because I hardly could lift my right leg the first half of the day.

It's my groin. I was probably not even 500m away when I felt it come up again (figured 2.5 days rest would be okay), so I made it a short run. But it still hurts nonetheless.
Also, useful lesson of the day: tiger balm on your groin is obviously not the best idea ever.
Of course! At least 10-15 minutes.
I have short muscles and I cramp up easily if I don't (I usually do some extra stretching before kickbox traning as well). I also stretch afterwards.
I always feel awkward when I stretch after running cause I don't really know what moves I should do so I just look at other runners and try to reproduce what they are doing.

So a month later and those pains are still not gone. My left elbow is also still shot, but whatever.
But on the other hand: 73 kg, where my target was 75.
Hip seems to be getting better, it basically only slightly hurts during workouts now (instead of barely being able to lift my leg the next day). So in a week or two I might attempt a run again.
On the other bright side, it's becoming quite clear I'm getting stronger by the week, given the amount of squats and deadlifts that are getting increasingly easy. And also Natascha likes the visible effect it has on my core.
