10K Training – Rest Day #1

Tracks: ZR (None, app still playing up on me), Endomondo

Today is a rest day. But I still ran. I decided to try Endomondo’s fitness scoring. The scoring is a 2 mile or 3 km run, and you are scored based on the time it takes you to complete the run. I scored 35.9, which for me classifies as “Fair” :-/

Back to training tomorrow. Day 3 target: 8 km @ 7:12 – 6:38 min/km

 

Training Plans on Endomondo

 

Endomondo have started rolling out training plans for runners. These training plans are dynamic in that they update and change based on your progress and fitness.

You must churn out a certain mileage per week in order to qualify for a training plan. For example, I do around 15K a week, and therefore, Endomondo offers me a 5-15km training plan, but doesn’t offer me a Half Marathon or Marathon training plan.

Here’s an example of a training plan Endomondo offered me for a 10K. I’m not using this plan for two reasons. First, I’m already in the middle of a training plan with MyAsics, and second, this plan finishes in JANUARY and the earliest I can end the plan is October 25th, which is way beyond the date of October 6th when my first 10K race is.
