So..... running

[BBx]

Obviously inspired by the marathon yesterday... I thought i'd try a bit further, set a pace of 10.3km/h & went for 7.5km.

Did that in 43m 43sec (5km was 29m 12s couldve done it in 29m 09s but had set pace)

Then went on to complete 8km in 46m 26secs. Kicking myself I didnt do the full 10k but didnt want to push myself too far, will do the other 2km tom morning as short week & am going to ache like a biatch tomorrow!

Hope hol doesnt undo all my progress checked website & its a spa hotel so bound to have a gym.

10.3km/h was a comfortable speed so averaging out 'technically' thats 10k under 1hr-obviously you have to factor in road training, but thats still better than 1hr 12m which I did the ASICS 10k run in 2 years ago.

Go Mei

I too was partially inspired and more just wanted to crush my 57 min 10k from before I started working on improving my speed. Plus it was my last run before my holiday and unlikely to get a chance to run again until May 4th.

6.28 miles (10.05k) @ 50:49. Very happy. But heh, I've been running 5 miles+ regularly since October (18/10/10) so it's taken a while.

Well done and thank you guys

Was writing on the train and wanted to get the facts out of my brain before I forgot. lol

Am still getting pains in the fronts of my legs, so didn't want to push the running too much. I went for a walk with the dog for almost a mile after work today, pole class tomorrow, and am going to try and have another run later this week

How often are you running? I've had a much better time since I cut my runs down to twice a week instead of three, was getting major shin splints on almost every run. The new trainers may have helped a little but I'd only done 360 miles in the old ones.

That said I do want to start getting back to three soon.

Im still only doing the beginning round of the C25K app, walking for 90 seconds running for 60, I haven't upped it because I don't feel ready, and also I have a dodgy knee which I have been told is going to need replacing, so I don't want to accerbate things. I do feel fitter though, and am managing to walk a lot longer than I used to. Im also going to try cycling for a bit this week as well, as thats not so much direct pressure on my legs/knee

cross trainer is good too apparently Marie. Less direct pressure. Also rowing?

Indeed, just trying to do free stuff whilst i'm in the last three months of clearing me debts. Plus the man who runs my local gym is an ex I'd rather avoid.
