Treadmill Run

Time: 2.30pm
Setting: Incline 1

Time Taken: 2 hours
Distance: 19.5km

Finally I managed to do the long run and gave the Galloway walk break method a go too. It seemed to work because running in bursts of 5-6 minutes seemed a lot easier than running consistently for 120 minutes. I know this because the pain of the half-marathon was much worse than how I'm feeling now, which is generally quite good.

I managed to catch the 2nd half of the Lyon Liverpool game and what a shot by Babel. However it was funny to see Lyon equalise so late (as a ManUtd fan) especially when Babel had an earlier easy chance to put the tie beyond doubt. You've got to take your chances. Ditto goes for the third minute chance that Ibrahimovic had for Barca against Rubin Kazan because the claret shirts swarmed their own penalty area after that. I think all Barcelona games must start off really similarly - Barca play keep ball for 20 minutes without much penetration and then start rattling shots in about the 35 min mark when the opposition are tired/bored!
