These running posts will serve to hold me accountable for my
goal of 300km of running this year and also as something for me to look back on
to see if I’ve gotten quicker etc.
So far, I have gone for 2 runs this week. The first run was
about 4.3km and the second was right on 4km. I use the Nike running app to
track the runs as it tells me each kilometre where I am at and my average
speed.
The first run didn’t track properly so I am counting that as
a practice as I’d like the app to track my full 300km of running this year. Consequently,
I have done one tracked run this week that was 4km long and this was around an
oval. I will have to do another run over the weekend to get my average per week
distance of 5.5km which is fine as I had planned on 3 runs per week anyway.
Run one – practice – 4km
Run two – 4km | 20 minutes | average of 5 minutes per kilometre
Happy New Year Rhi! So glad to see you are picking up running as a goal this year. It is a very good training of your mind too I find, how one breaks their mind-barriers to accomplish physical feats in running distances can be a good thing to apply into other aspects of everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress with this.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I think having it out in the open on the blog will keep me accountable so I don't slack off again.
DeleteI love that app! I wish I loved running though. Good luck this year! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kara!
DeleteI can't believe your first run is faster than mine! I'm a turtle! Glad to see you're sticking to your goals :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to be a runner, so I've always been pretty quick :-) I've just been doing it on and off over the past few years.
