5km training - TheEd - 23-03-2011
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..

let's have you doing 10 x 1 minute fast with 1 minute easy
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
