I had a week in Australia for work recently, a city I enjoy running around - which given that I wake up for the days at 23:30PM, leaving me a good six hours to myself means that I can run round the harbour, go to the gym, answer all my emails etc in a fairly relaxed manner.
I go to the gym for 45 -60 minutes most days, but that doesn't show up on this, the record of what I've been doing for the past month or so:
My question - when I was in Australia (26th of May to 3rd of June) I was running faster and faster, my final run was at 4.40 km/min average, and there was plenty of headroom (I wasn't pushing, just enjoying the run).
Now I'm back in London and it's a real effort, none of the zing is left in my legs and it's nowhere near as much fun as it was.
I'm not running every day, I've got no injuries - what's going on?
