What is it with Cycle 1? The last time I worked my way through Cycle 1 I had to take a few days off to allow my aches and pains to go away (and finally gave up with my Saucony's). This time I got some blisters (attempting to run without socks) and then I got sick and ran only once in a 5 day stretch! Luckily this was my last Cycle 1 on this training schedule...
My tempo run was the first run of the Cycle and I managed to complete it (with splits of 7:13, 7:10 and 7:19). A few days later I attempted to run in my Nike Free 3.0's at the track (3 x 800m) without socks (as that is apparently how they are meant to be worn) which ended up being a complete disaster as I ended up with blisters on the sides of my feet! The next day I woke up sick.
I finally managed to recover enough to do a long run (12 miles) so the cycle wasn't entirely wasted (I ended up missing 2 easy runs).
