Day 11/63 - July 31, 2008 Workout - Running

July 31st, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I am working on my endurance.  This morning I marked off 2.5km on GMaps-Pedometer, leashed up the dog and went running.  I stopped once for a 45 second breather about 2/3rds of the way through but otherwise I kept a pretty good pace.  At the end I sprinted for the last 100 metres.

I am going to run more consistently in the mornings.  My schedule has been pretty tight lately and I haven’t been able to train as much as I’d like to after work so I am going to do more in the morning.  I could make excuses about being busy to cover myself, but I’m really only deluding and impeding my own progress.

Next time I run I’m going to mark off 2.6km.  I could keep running the same distance over and over, but then I’ll just get good at running that distance.  If I want to run longer, I need to keep pushing at the limits of my capabilities - that’s the only way my body will respond by adapting to the stress.
