grand .. if you have run 2 days in a row best to have a rest day tomorrow

you can do a light run Friday and then a longer run of 40 minutes on Sunday

hope to get this up to 1hr shortly

Hi TheEd,

How are you? How is the weather there? I think it's slowly getting better here..

I did both runs, what am I doing tomorrow?

pace faster than last week's session

please provide feedback

Hi TheEd!

Oh that was good! I decided to run outside and use my watch as it just 'hangs' unused.. and it's just so different to run outside than on a treadmill - harder!

So I seted intervals on it 1:1min and here is what I covered during fast runs:
240m
296m
279m
279m
275m
287m
279m
297m
278m
269m

I know it's uneven, but I remember that it was the same on a track.. Hope I will learn to control my speed? Average speed for above 16,7km/h. it wasn't easy.. but it lasted just for a 1min so could manage it.. 1min rest was enough to recover.

I love those short sprints!

Hi B .. one thing for the future, do not do the session on a hard surface such as a road or pavement, rather on grass or a dirt road surface or track

glad to hear you enjoyed it

30 to 40 minutes tomorrow

Are we any closer on a date for your first 5km?

Cheers

Hi TheEd,

My race looks like will be just in May as I cannot make Friday runs any more.. And I'm on hols at the end of April..

More runs?

Beatule

[TheEd]

OK .. would be interesting to see how your 5k runs go in the future

1hr over the weekend

feedback as this will be your longest run

TheEd

[beatule1]

Hi TheEd,

Ok will do!

On a pavement..

Beatule

[TheEd]

OK .. for the future try to find a grass area to run on for those intense sessions
