C25K – Week 8 Day 3

I completed C25K Week 8 Day 3 (4.43 km), in 22:59, pace 05:11 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/x5lg

Succeeded in completing the run non-standard. My pace was a little slower than yesterday,  but I’ll blame the heavy lunch of Chicken Schwarma for that.

C25K – Week 8 Day 2

I completed C25K Week 8 Day 2 (4.43 km), in 22:38, pace 05:06 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/z5kA

A better run today. Only dropped to a walk once, and it shows in my pace time. It’s been a while since I hit close to 5:00 min/km.

C25K – Week 8 Day 1

I completed C25K Week 8 Day 1 (4.44 km), in 24:11, pace 05:26 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/u5iq

First successful run in a long while – and work hasn’t exactly helped matters. My overall fitness has therefore been diminished somewhat.

Week 8 is a toughie. 4.4km. I reverted back to an old 5km running route, but still dropped down to a walk a few times. Going run run Week 8 several times before moving on.

C25K – Week 7 Day 3

I completed C25K Week 7 Day 3 (4.02 km), in 19:58, pace 04:57 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/Y5el

This is the last run of Week 7. Next run is of Week 8, and is 4.4km. Trying to do 4K was really tough and I was really struggling the last 1K. When I try Week 8 if it is too tough, I’ll drop back to Week 7 till I’m comfortable with 4K and then take it up to 4.4K.

C25K – Week 7 Day 1

I completed C25K Week 7 Day 1 (4.02 km), in 20:48, pace 05:10 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/s5ep

Week 7, Day 1. Single 4K run. Lasted the entire 4K, but the last 0.5K was a doozy. Slower average pace than yesterday (05:10 min/km or 08:19 min/mile), so slightly disappointed.

On the plus side, I did get a new trophy:

C25K – Week 6 Day 3

I completed C25K Week 6 Day 3 (3.62 km), in 18:11, pace 05:01 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/Z5be

Week 6 Day 3. A single 3.62K run (2.25 miles). The last 0.6K was a tough push, but I just about made it. And at 5 min/km pace (8:04 min/mile), it felt pretty good.

A word of warning to the race leading runners: Do not be too complacent.

A word of encouragement to the trailing runners: Remember, it is not over until you cross the finish line.
