C25K week 5 hath commenced
Jul. 29th, 2010 08:41 pmIt wasn't pretty, but I did it.
I think I need to try and focus on time rather than distance. I was looking at the coolrunning.com "spreadsheet" and realized they're basing their distances on a 10-minute mile. And I'm not there yet. I can't even do a full 15 minutes at 5mph (a 12 minute mile) - I have to drop down to 4.7 or 4.8 for at least 30 seconds. Or I have the past two runs.
Saturday - which will be early as I've got Lilith Fair tickets starting at 3pm - is the two 8-minute run segments. And then Monday will be the first 20 minute run. EEK!!! Definitely making Sunday a rest day before that!!!
I suspect that part of the issue may be that I've been something along the lines of a slug as of late on my non-run days - and not doing the Yoga thing after my runs. Must get back on doing more workouts! Like TOMORROW!!!
