After a busy weekend, 25 mins was the last thing I wanted when I woke at quarter to 7 ... or was it? Once I was out of bed, I changed my mind and decided I was in the mood to run after all! 
I've felt recently that my pace could be defined as a steady shuffle! Today, I felt that my strides were a bit longer and I was definitely moving in such a way as could be accurately described as running!
However ... despite feeling more agile, more in the zone, I was at exactly the same point as last week when Laura said I was half way!
So maybe feeling more energetic does not automatically translate into faster pace!
As it has been getting harder recently, and I've been feeling minor aches and pains while I adjust to the longer running blocks, I am not pushing myself too hard to up the pace. But I'll definitely need to start thinking about pace if I'm to manage 5k in 30 mins in just over a fortnight! (I won't be heartbroken if I don't, as managing to run for 30 mins will feel like enough of an achievement!!!)
Maybe it's time to stop talking about gadgets and apps and actually start using one ... maybe I'll use endomono or similar on my next run, just to find out how on track (or otherwise :)) I am!
It's just brilliant to see some of you guys graduate - I'm so excited to see week 9 run 3 appear on the horizon and hope to join you on the other side soon
Best way to increase pace? 
Consolidation 10 - Pace Improving
W4 R2 - pacing is the problem!
‘Mature’ runners - distance or pace?
