I'm 48 years old and haven't been running for 10-15 years.  My initial goal was to make myself jog around the tracks 3 times a week.  I now managed to run twice a week (Friday 8pm after work, and Sunday 7pm before dinner).  I found myself easily out of breath and cannot even complete 400m.  Had to walk-and-jog for 3 to 4 laps around the stadium, covering at most 1.6km.

 

That's when I discovered this app and it fits my current situation and goals.  When I started W1D1, I almost gave up after the 4th set (4 of 8) jogging only 60secs each time.  Now I'm at W5D1 able to jog continuously for 5mins.

 

I'm struggling to run past 5mins so that I can attempt W5D2 again, which requires running 8mins continuously.  My immediate goal is to run 2.4km under 13mins (did that 30 years ago .....).

Distance or Speed?

 

First I need to build up the stamina and endurance to run continuously for 8mins (W5D2), then 10mins (W6D2).  After that I will keep track of the distance covered in:

20mins (W5D3),

22mins (W6D3),

25mins (W7D1),

28mins (W8D1),

30mins (W8D3).

 

Once I'm comfortable running 30mins non-stop, I should aim for number of laps around the 400m stadium:

3.2km (2 miles) or 8 laps (W5D3),

3.6km (2.25 miles) or 9 laps (W6D3),

4km (2.5 miles) or 10 laps (W7D1),

4.4km (2.75 miles) or 11 laps (W8D1),

5km (3.1 miles) or 12.5 laps (W8D3).

 

Finally, when I can run 5km non-stop, I will aim for speed or pace (6mins/km or 9:39mins/mile or 2:24mins/lap):

6.0km/h or 10mins/km or 50mins/5km,

6.5km/h or 9:14mins/km or 46:10mins/5km,

7.0km/h or 8:34mins/km or 42:50mins/5km,

7.5km/h or 8mins/km or 40mins/5km,

8.0km/h or 7:30mins/km or 37:30mins/5km,

8.5km/h or 7:04mins/km or 35:20mins/5km,

9.0km/h or 6:40mins/km or 33:20mins/5km,

9.5km/h or 6:19mins/km or 31:35mins/5km,

10km/h or 6mins/km or 30mins/5km.
