Some one say running? Ok I will chime in even if not wanted
Advice? Well my two pennies worth is:
1. Look up and enjoy the view.
2. Aim for a consistent pace, after which you can work hard/recover on various parts of the run, uphill coming get ready accordingly.
3. Set small achievable targets.
4. Invest in good running shoes.
5. Set a routine and work dam hard to stick to it, for me home from work, straight upstairs running gear on and out the door.
6. For me only probably, monitor times, I normally hit this part of my run at X, I am up/down and adjust accordingly. Unfortunately it tends to make every run a race for me, unless I have set out to have an easy run ect.
That will do for now, only my opinion of course so feel free to totally ignore
As mentioned I will post my times for this weeks run, see if they are of interest to you.
1k 2k finish time remarks
Mon 5.36 5.52 11.54 v windy
Tue 5.01 5.26 11.00 windy
Wed 5.05 4.56 10.28 Shocked at 2k time
Thu 4.51 5.01 10.24 calm
Fri 5.0 5.02 10.39 Think app may have thrown a tiny wobbler on 2nd k, but can't be too far out.
I have not ran for a while and have certainly not ran 5 days in a row for a long time, although I am well aware the distance is short but I am working hard and I feel it today and need some recovery time. I am going on a run with my daughter tomorrow so likely to be 5k or so but will be a leisurely pace.
Next week I will cut down to 3/4 runs and work on speed getting my k time to be consistently in the 4's. I will probably do this for the while month and then increase the distance with a view to doing a 5k park run at about the end of Apr and would aim to be sub 25minutes.
Enjoy your runs mate.
