Training – 27th May

No schedule C25K run today, so I went for a lap around the park with the intention of checking my 12-minute test run distance (aka Cooper Test)

Cooper Test: 2.13km, average pace 5:42 min/km. Endomondo shows a blip towards the end, but Strava doesn’t. And they’re both fed from my FitBit and while that does indeed show a blip, it’s not as extreme as the one in the Endomondo feed.

Regarding the test results. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_test, my results (2130m sits in the “good” range, but just about (2100-2500)) my record is 3.78km — though that was assisted by a downhill ^_^

 

Training – 23rd May

Lovely hot day today so a run in the park for my C25K plan with 4x 2 minute run intervals. Although the plan wanted a specific speed, there was no way I could jog that slow. Let’s hope the plan adapts…

Training – 22nd May

So, been a long while since I did any proper training runs, so picked up Endomondo premium again and currently running through a C25K plan.

First run is a 7-interval walk/run
