Just been for my first run of the week and did 2K in 15 mins at a quicker pace (hard work) ๐ think itโs called threshold work but to all the professionals out there please correct me if Iโm wrong.
Next run will be 30 mins - my ๐ pace
Final run of the week will be my long run - 5K
Iโm hoping this increases my fitness and stamina, thank you Kertesz for telling me about the personal coach 4 week plan on Nike app - that was the first one, going to use it in conjunction with what Iโm already doing.
Happy running everyone ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

Yes. Iโve been pushing the short run for (a bit of) speed. Yuck. But it does seem to get a bit of carry over to the tortoise runs. Interesting. I suppose itโs a moving-on version of the C25k intervals that had me so gasping, back in the day....
Some call it threshold, some call it tempo, most call them bloody hard work. Great job. The key is to get that pace into the legs on shorter runs and some nice slow longer running and eventually the two merge into a faster 5k. Enjoy that 30 minute comfortable run... youโve certainly earned it.
Ha ha ! I would choose the hard work title as it definitely was...thank you for explaining as thatโs exactly what Iโm aiming for and so glad its only once a week as much prefer the slow running but together they should help me improve my 5K ๐โโ๏ธ
The speed work is tough... I only love it once Iโve finished the session! The long slow builds that endurance... comfortable gets faster and then those tempo/threshold/expletive sessions have you ready to use it. I love the longer comfortable run, but my plan has them going to 16k, so I may change my mind ๐
It wasnโt fun Jill at all...felt like when you start C25k and want it to end but itโs only once a week. If it doesnโt work then me and Mr Speedy will part ways ๐
Thank you Dave ๐ Iโm heading in the right direction ! I will remember the โ your brilliantโ when I feel like passing out ๐๐โโ๏ธ ๐
