Training – 2nd June

Today and yesterday were hot days to run in (~25degC) and today’s run was a 9-interval,

6 of 60sec run/30sec walk and 3 of 30sec run/60sec walk

Training – 27th May

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 ^_^

 

Training – 23rd May

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…

Training – 22nd May

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

Training – 27th April

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

Training – 14th April

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….
