A fun workout

Nov 8 7:20am-7:52am

Workout 6 of 28 - 20 minute interval workout , 60 seconds of hard running with a slow 90 seconds jog recovery and repeat for 8 times.

I love interval workout. It may be hard, but really fun. Although I am still not able to run fast at the similar pace for all the repeats, the session was short & fun. Varying running speed made it fun, and you will appreciate those recovery run more when you are huffing & puffing through the hard run.

Total distance : 5:04KM
Time : 00:32:35
pace : 6:28

Warmup 5 min - 7:12

3.90KM

Workout 5/28 1.5mile moderate run.

Nov 6 Tuesday 7:46am - 8:10am

Running a bit fast and longer distance ended with pain on my shin. It should be only 2.4KM run, and a slow one.


1Km 6:45
2Km 6:04
3Km 6:06
4Km 6:15


Thoughts : which one is worse ?
1) training for few months & ready for the race but the race was cancelled
2) training for few months, but have to give up the race because of the injury

45 minutes run

Workout 4 of 28 - 45 minutes run

Running 45 minutes shouldn't be a problem for me, but this was the longest run that I had done since end of August.

I could feel the mild pain on my lower leg after running for about 30 minutes. Adjusting the way my foot landed on the floor seemed to eliminate the pain.

5KM painfree

Workout 3 of 28

Avg pace : 6.58 min/km
