Yesterday I started Week 5 of my variation of Hal Higdon's 10k novice program and did 30 minutes of strength training and some stretching. Today, I ran a bit more than 2 miles with a moderate effort. I like Varda's description of level of effort and this felt like moderate. It turned out to be the fastest pace I have ever run so far 14.47 minutes/mile.

Ran my 5k this morning- 33:54.2, 3rd in my age group! I'm very happy with that!

Awesome, was there wine involved? I keep running, but haven't been updating here now that I'm not training for an event.

No wine, but fresh grapes!

I finished Week 11 Day 1 today.

My C210K (zenlabs app) has all weeks in it - meaning 1-8 is the regular C25K and then continues on weeks 9-14. Week 11 is 3 intervals of 17 minutes running.

That being said, I saw the chiropractor and he asked me to do the 10K training once a week, so now I'll do 2x5K per week (trying to get under 30 minutes) and then the 10K training on the weekend. I started using Map My Fitness again and I saw my stats from a year ago, it's crazy how much better I've gotten (granted, I did pause running between April 2015 until I picked it up again in October 2016

Sooooo... That was the last time I ran, March 30th. I took a (really) long break because after that visit to the chiropractor I got injured, yay! Finally over that, and today I re-started C210K, starting week 9 which is 4x 10 minutes of running. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was, and I'm thrilled that it was actually absolutely fine and I did not feel overwhelmed or exhausted or at the verge of dying. Perhaps it also has to do with the fact that I'm 10kg lighter than last time I ran haha! Anyway, hopefully I'll be fine now and finish the 10K - never ran 10K before!
