RPHM Training – Week 2, Day 1

Cooper Test today. To see how far I can run in 12 minutes. Answer? 2.18 km. My personal best for a Cooper Test is 2.8km, so I am about 0.7km slower. Not too bad, but it does prove my fitness has dropped since my peak fitness.

Next run on Friday (4.4km @ 7:53min/km target pace)

RPHM Training – Week 1, Day 4

Goal: Long Run 8K @ 7:16 min/km pace.

Achieved 4.58k @ 6:53 min/km pace. Fell way short of my target, but it is still early in the plan. I must really up my game (and mileage)
