catlynk Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Very early morning workout, W5 D2 done! I'm gonna do another D2, before I move onto D3. I'm quite nervous about a full 20min jog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite nervous about a full 20min jog. You are already running 20 min total! So may I suggest - go for the day 3. If you will feel in the middle of the run that you cannot push yourself more, take short walk (10-15 sec) and continue. You can always count it as Day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 My second Week 9 Day 2 Run 45 min (10, 10, 10, 15 min. intervals) with average speed 6.01 mph (5.9, 6.0, 6.0 and 6.1 mph) Total distance 4.5 miles. I think I am almost ready for 5k under 30 min (need speed 6.22mph). Catherine, I am waiting for your result! Blayne, how are you doing? I know it was cold, snowy, icy and rainy past few days.....

Day 1&2 on Week 6 looks easier, but after jogging 20 minutes why does it go back to jogging and walking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Day 1&2 on Week 6 looks easier, but after jogging 20 minutes why does it go back to jogging and walking? if it feels easy you can add interval 3, 5 or 8 min run. That's what I did. Program is trying to increase (slowly) the distance/endurance and prepare you mentally for the last run of the week. second Week 9, Day 3. 40 min of run (10, 10, 10, 10 min) with 2 min walk on between. Ran 4.08 miles with average speed 6.12 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hit my goal of 24 km for the week; ran 10 km in 59 min. Next week is 27 km with another 10km run. Natcatvet and catlynk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 My plan for today was: take easy pace and run 20-25 min. But all treadmills were busy, when I arrived... So I jumped on a bicycle and did interval training on it. Total 5 miles per 20min. Then I switch to treadmill. It feels very well (good warm up?) and I run 40 min strait with speed 5.8 mph. That is 3.8 miles or 6.2km. (I will probably pay for this tomorrow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catlynk Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi guys! Yesterday due to rain I went to the club, for Week 6 Day 2. I chose the first option 10min/3min/10min. Today I got out on a park trail and did the 1 mile-2/4mile-1mile!! I'm amazed at how far I have come in 6 weeks! When early on 90 seconds of jogging intimidated me.

torus_ot Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 blayne That is the way to go! Update for the Thursday: My hip joints still cannot recover after previous few runs.... I am actually thinking to take 10-14 days off from running, but keep walking.... Today I went to the gym, did 9 miles/40min on the bike - interval training (every mile - do 30 sec at max speed). Then run 1 mile at 6mph. It is funny, but the running itself feels fine. The walking after the training is painful. Especially first few steps..

catlynk Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 torus, Hate that you are in pain! Your workout is still impressive. Today I completed W6 D3 jogged 2.25 miles and I shaved 22 seconds off of my (min/mile) from the last two days of training. Could it be the new running shoes I bought just before I went out today? But, through my right hamstring started hurting and it's very sore right now He is what I'm supposed to put on it right? I'm trying to also to prevent, getting plantar fasciitis again. I had it after Thanksgiving and it took six weeks to heal. I could feel the pads of my feet burning during the last few runs. Any body have any advice? I'm on my second pair of new shoes in the past 2 weeks. The guy at Racket and Jog had me try on 3 different brands, I went with the Asics instead of the Hoka's or Brooks. I'm wondering if the Hoka's would have been a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Catherine Try ankle compressed sleeves. It suppose to help with prevention of the plantar fasciitis.It say so on the package My new pair of Asics is waiting for better weather... catlynk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
