10K Retraining – Day 1

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo

Target: EASY RUN WITH 6 STRIDES 4.11 KM

Achieved: 4.41 KM

First run of the 10K retraining. Interval training x6. A comfortable run with 6 short bursts. Felt the burn at bursts 5 and 6. The 10 minute cool-down helped.

Retraining 10K

After the Christmas and (upcoming) New Year celebrations and obligatory over-indulging of food, I, like many people will be trying to shift the extra weight in the new year. So, with the help of Endomondo, I’m going to train up again for a 10K — not a 10K race this time, just try to get up to the 10K distance again, then take it up to distance Half Marathon for the second half of the year and/or early 2015. The training plan is over half a year and I stretched it out to its maximum length deliberately to allow me as gradual work up to 10K.

I know I can do 10K, I did a race earlier this year (Chickenshed 10K), but after slacking off because of weather, I need to get back into it.

Interesting morning today. My brakes seized up on my car (Skoda Fabia Greenline), with an ABS system warning light, meaning I was fighting my brakes trying to move my car. Pulled in 200 metres down the road, turned my car around and went back up the hill, and reparked it. Turned the engine off, restarted it and the light disappeared, proceeded to work without much further problems. Whether or not it pops back up again when I drive home is another matter….
