c25kI went out yesterday morning once Tony was up, and did 5k of running with 5 minutes warm up and cool down. It was mostly pleasant although I got confused near the end and forgot to allow for the distance walked in the warm up, so sped up for what I thought was my last couple of hundred metres, except it was the last ~800m. Oops.
I set a RunKeeper goal of total distance of 200km since 29th September 2012 (that being my first post here) and it tells me I have done 134km so far.
I looked through the various training plans that the app offers, thinking about working towards 10k and/or a half-marathon. Most of them are based on 4 workouts a week, and seem to need longer training sessions than I can do in my lunch hours. So I left it for now. I'm going to keep trying to make a habit of 2x 30 minute runs in my lunchtime and a longer run at the weekend. Maybe once that's actually an established routine I can think about changes (e.g. extending my weekend run a bit at a time) or research some running plans so I can build a set of workouts into RunKeeper. It's probably premature to think about adding a fourth run to the weekly routine before I've successfully run 3 times a week.
