エンドルフィン・ラン。

土曜日以来、風邪気味。さらに花粉症の症状とあいまって、目と鼻と喉が痛い。しかも連日のオリンピックTV観戦で、夜更かしばかり。いかんいかん。

とはいえ、ランニングをサボるほどひどい風邪ではないので、朝とは言えない遅い朝、予定通り御所へ。快適ペースで御所を4周して帰ってきた。走り始めは具合が悪かったが、走り終わる頃にはすっかり元気に。快感物質エンドルフィンが分泌されたか?久々に苦しくないランニングをした。

Endorphin run.

I have been having a slight cold since Saturday night, and now it's combined with pollen allergy symptoms. Very uncomfortable.

But it's not bad enough to change my running programme, so I went out for Gosho to fulfill today's distance in late morning. Did 4 laps with comfortable pace. I wasn't feeling good at the start, but by the final lap, I felt better and better. Is it because of endorphin that is said to be released while you are running at the certain pace?

◎Today's distance: 17.4km (at endorphinergic pace)

It might be.

Or maye it is just that the muscles are all warmed up and operating efficiently, with aerobic energy processing humming along nicely. Anyway, it is a nice feeling. Don't forget to look at p62-66 of men's Nonno!
