Week1: 8'45'' /km

[liv]

I was feeling a bit off today, maybe an incipient cold or just even worse allergies. Or maybe it was psychological because I'd committed myself to doing a whole half hour. I wasn't sure whether I should cry off, or cut the run short. I decided to keep going, which I think was a good decision.

I wasn't able to repeat the fast pace I'd managed the first two runs, but I did complete the whole 30 minutes with 1 minute running intervals. My overall pace was slower at 8'45'' /km, but faster than the 9 to 9½ minutes I'd been running when I was doing 5 minute intervals. And I came away feeling, that was hard but I did it, rather than having to deal with the set-back of giving up.

Plan for the weekend: run 1 of week 2, and see if I can keep going for the whole 90 seconds at a pace where I'm really pushing myself.
