RNR Savannah training - week 1, day 2
The past few days we've had scattered thunderstorms in the area, so running outside has been chancy. So I went to the gym to run on the TM. In an effort to try to up my miles, I planned to run the '5K loop' routine twice. And instead of focusing on running for time, I focused on running for distance:
Walk (4.0 mph) - 0.25 mi
Run (4.5 mph) - 0.25 mi
I ran my loops back to back, breaking only long enough to write down my stats and reset the routine on the TM.
Round 1
Mile 1 - 14:10
Mile 2 - 28:41
Mile 2.52 - 35:34
371 cal, avg speed - 4.3mph, avg pace - 13:54
Round 2
Mile 1 - 14:09
Mile 2 - 28:18
Mile 2.53 - 35:11
370 cal, avg speed - 4.5 mph, avg pace - 13:57
C/D - 5:00
0.24 mi, 20 cal
TOTAL
5.29 mi, 1:15:45, 761 cal
Trying to run for distance was somewhat difficult - particularly through the 'run' segment. I really wanted to quit, each time, but I pushed through. I Some of the difficulty was certainly in part to my breathing. My knees held up well - the new ASICS really helped.
Now for my shower and on to bed.
FOOTNOTE: I entered my stats into a couple of online training logs/websites, and noticed that the data from the TM was close:
JustFinish: avg speed - 4.19 mph, avg pace - 14:32
DailyMile: avg speed - avg pace - 14:19
