Week 163, Cool runnings


Running around in the snow.

Best pace 4:34, but only very briefly on a downhill.

What's the point of this?

One target is doing 1500m in under 7:05, my best (and only) time back in 1980(?), which was a slow time even for a 15 year old.  Once this isn't a mix of walking and running that time ought to come down.

Which leads to another target, that of running without interspersing with recovery walks.

Further to that, lose weight, which might help when going uphill - the uphills are currently run at not much over walking pace, and given that Sheffield is mostly hills...

How is this being achieved?

Using the very handy program from the book The Rough Guide To Running.  That's the 5k section finished, it consists of four weeks of three sessions of running each week.  Each week the intensity and duration is gradually increased, the increase is gradual enough to prevent over-stress and injury.  Below are the summary results of the three sessions in week four.

Next: additional similarly structured weeks of running to build up to 10k.
