The bupa Great Manchester Run 10 km takes place 26th May, less than 8 weeks away! My target is to complete it in better than 60 min. (If you are up for sponsoring my please use the link below.)
1st Through Run 5km
Previously, I have programmed walk intervals in all sessions but last Saturday I completed the Bramhall parkun 5 km as a continuous run. Quite happy with 30m 34s at this stage but look forward to breaking 30 min next time and achieving a 10km in 60min pace for the first time. This represented an improvement of 34 places and 2 min 24 secs on my last event 23rd Feb.
Scotland
I lost a week of training last week during a trip to Scotland. I took my running gear but it was FREEZING and I succeeded in always finding an excuse. (Photo near Glen Coe)
Training Plan
Continuing with my 3 sessions a week.
- Gym: Treadmill 40 min session followed by 20 lengths of 20m pool.
- Road: Increasing toward 1 hour, extending run intervals with walk intervals less frequent.
- 5 km: Some weeks a parkrun others a 5 km road run.
Running for St. Ann's Hospice in memory of Margaret Donovan (Mum) and Sheila Waddington.
