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 ^_^

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…

Straight walk today, no runs, for 2.80km

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

Rainy, windy run today…

But felt nice to be able to last a lap around the park without stopping.

Average pace 6:01 min/km

2.93km at just under 6:00/km

Sunday Run, made the 5km, but trying barely made the top of the steep hill on my 5km route (which is the 3km mark on the chart below).

Guess I’d better get back to training that hill….

Sometimes you have good run days, others you have bad days.

8th April run was definition a bad run day. Only lasted about 2.3km in, then started walk-running :(

Overall average pace was 7:14 according to Strava. My worst pace for a long time :(

I shortish run today (even though I’m posting a day late) 2.74km at 5:58min/km. Felt a comfortable pace. Looks like 5:30-6:00min/km is my comfort pace which I will probably keep using as foundation.

This isn’t an April Fool’s joke (even though I’m posting a day late)

Ran 5km, although the last km was more walking. I’m way out of shape so just trying to get to being able to get 5km down. Then maybe I’ll pickup ParkRuns again.
