Running | Week One

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
