I have completed 2 runs since my last post. I set a personal record on the first run. The one thing I was trying to overcome was my slow starts. My first k is always my slowest. I figured if I kept it under 6 minutes I would be able to finish my 5k run in under 30 minutes without having to run my guts out for the last kilometer. I felt great while I was running. In fact I completed my first k in 5:49 and kept it up from there. This run was my fastest 5ks ever at 28:44 lets hope it gets better from here.
My second run was not as good. I completed the 5ks in under 30 minutes but it took me awhile to get going. In total I got a 6k run in and I am totally pain free. I still have not attempted any long runs. Will have to do something about that.

Total kilometres: 381.36k (237 miles)
Kilometres left: 628.64 k (390.6 miles)

Do a 10k, you can do it.
ReplyDeleteDon`t get hung up on the number, just go out there and run. You know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I'm doing a run tonight and going to change my running route to see how many Ks I do.
