c25kOK, 6 degrees is officially too cold for running outdoors. Although it was fairly pleasant, since it's sunny and since I kept moving enough that I didn't actually feel cold, I wasn't really able to breathe deeply enough to run and I could feel that I was beginning to get asthma-ish spasms. I've had half an hour to recover and I'm still kind of struggling to take deep breaths. This really does mean I need to go back to the gym, even though it's faffy and smelly and boring.
Having started, I wanted to push myself to actually complete the exercise, and I did in fact manage the two 3-minute runs of the week 3 workout. Only just, and running even slower than I have been so far. So my average pace was only very slightly under 10 min / km again, rather worse than the 9 1/2 ish I was managing for week 2. Still, it looks like I am physically capable of running for 3 minutes continuously, even in unfriendly conditions, which wasn't a given.
(Runkeeper didn't get any GPS signal during the warmup and quite a bit into the run, so I've multiplied up the numbers as best as I can and they're even less accurate than usual.)
