Training

Finally finished Week 9. Interval three was a difficult one and my pace went from 5:30min/km to 7:33min/km >_<

Contemplating whether to move onto Week 10 or redo week 9 until I can meet the pace.

Training

Tried a different route today. Still sore from the hour run yesterday. This new route turns out to be just under 5k, though I’m not sure it’s right, since my Fitbit seemed to lose communication with my phone so didn’t track the route properly. Guess I’ll try again tomorrow maybe.

Still, I got two achievements on the run which was two PRs on segments on the run (which were tracked properly)

Training

Finally did the next run in the 5 to 10 k. Still hurts when I run for an hour, and a tried slightly a different running route. Just over 8k today. Have no idea why the app registered only 5.7k.

Training

First run of the 5 to 10K section and it’s a lot harder.

4x 10-minute runs, with only a 1 minute rest in between. 7K measured by the app, 8.8km measured by Fitbit.

Training & C25K Completed

Completed ZenLabs C25K and now looking at the 10K trainer. First run of Week 9 (it continues the C25K plan) is a near-hour set of 10 minutes runs O_O

Training

First run of the final week and ended up dropping to a walk near the end of the 28 minutes. Disappointed, even though I was slow-jogging and making a pace of about 5:30 min/km on average for the main kms in the middle..

 

Training

First long run since my week away. 25 minutes running non stop and my body screamed at me to stop at 4km. Busted through and did one more round, taking it to 5.6 km. Strava logged it as 5.9 km, with moving time of 39:49, with a best km time of 5:24 min/km.

I was using the Spotify running playlist to keep my cadence steady and it showed.

The first and last kilometres were the warm up and cool down walks, hence the skewed time.

Training

Attempted to start Week 7 runs (which are 5 min warm up, 20+ min run, 5 min cooldown) — and today fell short by walking at 23 mins of 25 :(

Will try again tomorrow.
