Tried a different route today. Still sore from the hour run yesterday. This new route turns out to be just under 5k, though I’m not sure it’s right, since my Fitbit seemed to lose communication with my phone so didn’t track the route properly. Guess I’ll try again tomorrow maybe.
Still, I got two achievements on the run which was two PRs on segments on the run (which were tracked properly)
Finally did the next run in the 5 to 10 k. Still hurts when I run for an hour, and a tried slightly a different running route. Just over 8k today. Have no idea why the app registered only 5.7k.

First run of the 5 to 10K section and it’s a lot harder.
4x 10-minute runs, with only a 1 minute rest in between. 7K measured by the app, 8.8km measured by Fitbit.

Completed ZenLabs C25K and now looking at the 10K trainer. First run of Week 9 (it continues the C25K plan) is a near-hour set of 10 minutes runs O_O

First run of the final week and ended up dropping to a walk near the end of the 28 minutes. Disappointed, even though I was slow-jogging and making a pace of about 5:30 min/km on average for the main kms in the middle..

Final run of week 7’s set of runs. Next one is week 8 – two 28min runs, then the 5k/30min run.

Second day of 25min run. Didn’t manage to run as far as yesterday, but nearly made the 5k

First long run since my week away. 25 minutes running non stop and my body screamed at me to stop at 4km. Busted through and did one more round, taking it to 5.6 km. Strava logged it as 5.9 km, with moving time of 39:49, with a best km time of 5:24 min/km.
I was using the Spotify running playlist to keep my cadence steady and it showed.
The first and last kilometres were the warm up and cool down walks, hence the skewed time.

Attempted to start Week 7 runs (which are 5 min warm up, 20+ min run, 5 min cooldown) – and today fell short by walking at 23 mins of 25 :(
Will try again tomorrow.
22 minute non-stop run on a treadmill. Haven’t done this for a while. The app registered 3.2km, my Fitbit registered 4.99km.

Forgot to log this yesterday.
Today’s run. Three runs of 5/8/5 mins

Forgot to log this from yesterday. This was a 20-minute non-stop run. On a treadmill not so bad.
Just about to do my run for today.
Week 5 runs are the first ones which vary the entire week. Today it was 8 min run / 5 min walk, 8 min run / 5 min cooldown.
Did the run early in the morning, and ironically had Morning from Peer Gynt playing ^_^
Week 5 runs - 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 5 min cooldown.
Ran through a local community fayre on the way and found them giving out ride in a horse carriage
Finished Week 4 of the runs. Unlocked a new app skin for getting halfway through the program.
Week 4 runs continue. My pace today was worse than the last run. Much worse :(
Week 4 runs starting. 3:00/1:30/5:00/2:50 run/walk intervals. A lot harder than the previous runs, but still feels good.
Week three runs finished.
Actually ran yesterday but had to break the run early since I ended up with a nose bleed part way through.
Redid the run later that day.
Continuing week 3 runs. Today’s run felt easier – guess I’m getting used to the additional time for the runs.
Week 3 Day 1, more effort than the previous runs with two 3 minute runs in the middle, but felt good afterwards
Final day of the Week 2 runs. Nothing major, same routine as the previous two, but decided to push the jog speed up a bit compared to yesterday.
Busy day tomorrow, so probably won’t be doing my run tomorrow.
Training today was in a hotel in Dublin so on Treadmill which screws up the tracking of the ZenLabs app. Second day of the Week 2 set of runs
Continuing to work through ZenLabs' 5k app. Today, W1D3, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then cooldown.
A cold run today - bumped into a group of runners in the local park also doing intervals and they invited me to join them. Politely declined as they were doing small laps, and I wanted to do the larger laps.
Today, W1D2, 5min walk then 1min run/1.5min walk x8 and then 5min cooldown.
