Heading For The Goal

Progressing
Progress has been excellent since my last post. My Treadmill sessions continue to extend and 2 more road runs have given me a lot more confidence. As yet, my errant achilles are remaining intact.

The following distances and times include 5 min warm up and 5 minute cool down walks.

• 23rd Jan 2013: 4.5 km of which 2.9 km was running. 31 mn overall / 15 mn running
• 17th Jan 2013: 4.0 km of which 2.2 km was running. 29 mn overall / 12 mn running

I am gradually improving the ratio of run to walk with my latest road run being 3 x 5 min running with interval walks down to 3 min. I think I'm going to stick at 3 min recovery walks for a while now while extending the run interval duration.

Goals Set
As I mentioned in early posts, I am using the excellent Runkeeper App to track my progress. Yesterday I finally entered a couple of goals, the Great Manchester Run 10k is on 26th May and my ultimate goal and I have given myself a goal of completing my first 5k parkrun by 24th February.
