18 down 4.5 miles in 45:36 mins 5.92 miles per hour burned 544 cals.
2 left Thursday and Sat0 -
16. Friday 23rd March: 17km @ 65-75% max HR: 5 mins 27 secs / km - total time 92 mins 51 seconds
Only 4 runs to go woop woop - another run today at the gym (incorporating some sprints along with some strength training). I think Sunday will be a total rest day for me as the old body is beginning to feel the PAIN! Lol.
{PS 17km is just over 10.5 miles
and speed (average) 6.82 miles per hour.}
92 mins at 6.82 wow.. amazing! thanks for the ps...
Lol, you're welcome.
Funnily on 9 January 2012, I struggled to run 8 km in 1 hour, and I mean that I really struggled. At that point, and here's the PS, that was equivalent to 5 miles! It was a nightmare.
I completed Insanity over the next 8 weeks, built in some extra runs and am also now doing 30DS as well as Insanity all over again with a bit of weight training thrown in for good measure. All of this has helped my cardio and absolute love for running.
I'll say it again though, I really needed a challenge like this as it's really helped me keep focus (as the 1/2 marathon I wanted to do falls on my daughters birthday weekend - and you can't miss your daughters birthday).
It's great to see so many people trying to complete this challenge, so keep up the good work and let's see how many of us can get across the 20 run finish line! Woop woop.
That's excellent.. What progress. I agree this was a great challenge to get me motivated and start enjoying running.
I have been doing the Brazilian Butt Lift series. It sounds funny but has some great strength training for the whole body.
I'll do my 20th run Sat at my first 5k 0 -
