C25K – Week 3 Day 1

I completed C25K Week 3 Day 1 (1.83 km), in 09:25, pace 05:08 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/G4Vb

First workout of Week 3, distance training now. Pretty easy – relatively short distances for the intervals, and only four intervals. But, I’m not going to jinx myself

Nike+ Training

I haven’t used the Nike+ Running app for a long time, since getting a SportWatch. However, I dug it back out after starting to use the Nike Training Club app (as it ties into the Running app to check you have done a running workout). Now, Nike have put in a coach with plans for 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon distances. Interesting.

Long Run Weekend #1 – Day 2

Second day of the long run weekend, and it didn’t turn out too well. I decided to run my local park instead because the weather looked ominous. One lap around the park (about 1 mile), and my hamstring was hurting again. Seemed to ease up if I changed my running posture, though. So perhaps I picked this up because my running style is poor? I ended the run early to give it a rest, and maybe work on a better posture. I probably never had this feeling because I don’t normally do 15+K runs.

Still, on the plus side, a new trophy came my way:
