Moving On Up

So, that's W7 completed although, for a number of reasons W8R1 is unlikely to be before next Thursday, but such is life.

Since my 2.9k in W6R3, I've pushed out to 3.3k today. Interesting to see if my pace continues to build. Based on current pace, I need 35 mins for 5k, but my goal is to actually be able to run non-stop for 40 mins (one half of a rugby match) so I suspect I'll need to build for another 4-5 weeks after C25K graduation to get to my target time.

Assuming I do it, I wonder what distance I'm going to be covering in that time given that I can walk 4k in 40 mins.

Anyway, that's in the future; still got to get weeks 8 and 9 under my belt first...

Great job. Interesting too... 40 minutes will be no problem... once you graduate you have a great base to work from... if you really wanted to it wouldn’t take too long to get to 80 minutes... then you can announce to the players that “half time will be a quick turn around today” and watch the fear in their faces!

Not what you're looking for?
