Week 8 day 1

[mnicholls]

I found it to be a strain getting to the end but overall it went well. I logged my time at 38 min and distance of 2.68 mi, at a average pace of 14.10 min mile. I think that's good, I have nothing to compare it to. Let me know how that compares to others my age? 65.

Well done!

Had to do a few calculations... that's 8:48 min /km My average is 8 min km at the moment - I have been running for 14 months, and am 52... But the real comparison should me only made with yourself

well done, glad someone else worked out the miles to km haha

my last average km/h was 8.43 ,we all run at our own pace so I would say you are doing just fine

Most of us on this forum, for some unknown and unwritten reason, tend to use minutes per kilometre rather than the imperial equivalent to measure our pace. Either way you are doing great and as the others have said the only person you really need to compare yourself to is yourself, unless of course you are intending to break into the Olympic squad for Rio. There will always be somebody faster than you and always many slower.....especially those still on the couch.

Keep it up.

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I have no plans for Rio but would like to vacation there sometime. I do agree with you my only competition is myself when it comes right down to it. Thanks again. Best regards.
