Training – 3rd January 2019

Decided to try doing a slower pace today — and made it around 4km without dropping to a walk. This was 1.5 laps around my local park. Next one will be two laps (which should also take me to 5km)

 

 

Happy New Year 2019

A happy new year to the readers still following this blog. I’ve been slacking off posting for a while now. Hopefully should rectify that this year.

Will start blogging my attempts at getting back into shape with the intention of retrying going for the Royal Parks Half Marathon.

Current weight, 12st 0lbs.

Training – 25th December 2018

Yes, running on Christmas Day. A shortish one. It was pretty dead in my local village, with pretty much all the shops closed except for the Fruit + Veg store.

Have a great Christmas Day, everyone ! :)

Training – 22nd December 2018

First time road-running 5km for a while, and did drop to a walk a few times, especially going up the hill.

Average pace 06:28min/km, and Strava says I’m gradually getting faster on this route (which is good)

Training – 27th October 2018

First run for a long while — decided to push and go for the 5k I had been leaving for a long while

Made it in 30mins near enough on the dot. Strava tracking 5.03km in 29.57 with an average pace of 5:57min/km

Training – 9th September 2018

Intervals run today — I decided to try walking the beginning and end since the target pace was just under 8mins but I struggled to find a good speed, since 8min/km is too fast for my walk pace and too slow for my jog pace
