On Friday I ran my 3.6 mile route in 37 minutes and 32 seconds which is an average speed of 10 minutes 19 seconds! My goal for March was: Run a new 3 mile route, but I am now updating it to: Run 3.6 miles in under 36 minutes. I definitely want to run the Great South Run in 1 hour 40 minutes or less, so I need to be able to sustain 10 minute miles, but at the moment I am finding that I run out of steam on a 3.6 mile run at that pace (I had to walk for 10 seconds twice to make 37:32).
This morning I ran my 2.3 mile route in 20 minutes which is an average speed of 8.42 minutes, this tells me I can run much faster over short distances but am still struggling as the distance goes up. There is no way I could have run the 3.6 miles at that pace, but as I only had limited time I thought I'd really push the short run.
I am off to soft play now with the kids to burn some extra calories!
