3.7 miles in 36 minutes

Oh yeah baby! Feeling good today. Last night, I ran the 3.6 miles route and it was hard! I ended up running it in just over 10 minutes a mile which was dissapointing. Firstly, because I really want to get the pace below 10 min/mile and secondly because it was so tiring, I was absolutely exhausted at the end!

Anyway, Lara was messing around this morning, she said she was going to go running so I wasn't able to but she didn't go in the end so will now go after I finish work. It all meant that I had to go in my lunchbreak today. I did the usual route, but added a few extra twists and turns which made it up to 3.7 miles and I completed it in 36m:40s which is an average speed of 9.49 min/mile! It was quite hard, but not devastating like yesterday, so I think if I can run that pace 3 time a week, maybe 4, it will start to get easier.

I'm not sure what my new goal should be, I'm feeling that I need some practice at this pace before I move on, but hopefully by the end of March I will be able to add anothe mile or so.

Goals for March:

  • Run 5 miles at any pace
  • Run 3.7 miles under 10 min/mile three times a week, every week
