livMy week D reboot didn't go so well last week, because I was away from home (and the gym) most of the week and I was definitely not brave enough to try running in the snow. I'm quite proud of restarting today, because even walking to the gym with thick snow on the ground and more snow falling from the sky was a challenge (especially the venturing out of the house part of it!)
So, treadmill again, 5 km of walking and running intervals. I alternated 6 kph for 4 minutes and 7.5 kph for 8 minutes (which is 1 km of running at a time). So my time was 43'37'', which is my best yet and getting close to being fast enough to try a Parkrun (though NOT in the snow). It gives me a pace of 8'45'' /km, a similar average to what I achieved on my last 30 minute continuous run.
I am not sure how to make day 2 faster, really; I can't run much faster than 7.5 kph at all. There's probably still a bit of room for increasing the proportion of time spent running, but not very much, because I need at least 3 minutes of recovery to actually get my breathing to the point where I can start running again. Or else wait until it warms up enough to run outside again, then I can just push myself a bit harder in each 10-minute interval.
