Just shy of 5k today, but most of it closer to 6min/km than the others

Two runs today, one 2.30km and one 3.25km

Slacked off a bit for a while, but made another 5km run today. Average pace 6:26min/km.

Another 5km run – slightly faster than yesterday though

I think I’ve found a rhythm in my running now. It’s a slower pace than I used to have (6:45min/km) but I can maintain it.

Decided to try doing a slower pace today – and made it around 4km without dropping to a walk. This was 1.5 laps around my local park. Next one will be two laps (which should also take me to 5km)

First run of the new year. Only 3.22km today, but give it time… .^_^

A happy new year to the readers still following this blog. I’ve been slacking off posting for a while now. Hopefully should rectify that this year.

Will start blogging my attempts at getting back into shape with the intention of retrying going for the Royal Parks Half Marathon.

Current weight, 12st 0lbs.

Yes, running on Christmas Day. A shortish one. It was pretty dead in my local village, with pretty much all the shops closed except for the Fruit + Veg store.

Have a great Christmas Day, everyone ! :)

First time road-running 5km for a while, and did drop to a walk a few times, especially going up the hill.

Average pace 06:28min/km, and Strava says I’m gradually getting faster on this route (which is good)

One-lap run around my park. Nothing major.

First run for a long while – decided to push and go for the 5k I had been leaving for a long while

Made it in 30mins near enough on the dot. Strava tracking 5.03km in 29.57 with an average pace of 5:57min/km

Easy run today, made it to about 3k

12 minute fitness test today. According to Endomondo, I made 2.16 km.

Intervals run today – I decided to try walking the beginning and end since the target pace was just under 8mins but I struggled to find a good speed, since 8min/km is too fast for my walk pace and too slow for my jog pace

4.3k run today

Reset my Endomondo plan to reflect updated pace. Today’s run was a 3.8km run. Got to about 3km then dropped to a walk, but kept a pretty consistent pace until then.

Straight walk 3.3k

Straight walk for 3k. Was actually 3.3k, but Endomondo tracked 3.3k before my Fitbit did.

Run/walk 4 intervals at 2min/1min times

No scheduled run today, so just did a straight run and one lap of my local park.

6 intervals today, back to running for each of the fast-walk intervals

Changed the run schedule a bit in @endomondo – Wednesday I’m normally late due to office stuff and Friday… well, Happy Hour ^_^

So next run is now Sunday with a 4x 2min run/1min walk interval.

8 intervals today with two short ones (and that threw me a bit)

Spotted a sign from the local council on a lamp post on the run near the end – apparently, they’d found 2 dead fox cubs with no injuries, implying they had been poisoned, which is in violation of a Wildife Act or something along those lines.

Then on the lamp post opposite “Dog Owners, don’t let your dogs poop on the pavement, clean up after them. You know who you are”

Someone hates animals it seems…

Missed a run due to heavy rain.

Today’s run was a walk/run with 4 intervals

First day training back with @endomondo – more a walk today, but I ran a bit during the “fast-walk” intervals.

I used Endomondo for the voice prompts, but tracked the main workout with my fitbit. This led to my graph being a bit out of sync with the workout graph…

Next run is on Thursday. Well, it’s a walk rather than run…. But start slow, and build up, I guess
