    Been absent a while: Achilles issues kept me sidelined over Xmas but I am back. Dropped back a few weeks in the programme so i could build the tendon back up gradually: yesterday I finished W7D3 - 25 minute run. It was WARM in the gym but I did it.

    I usually hit the gym after work but it today was W5D3 and I was felling anxious about being able to do 20 minutes so I went at lunch. My pace is 5 mph so I actually had to run 24 minutes to get my 2 miles in. Smelling victory :)

    Humph. Went to the gym to run at lunchtime and it was closed for painting...
    Tomorrow's forecast down here in the Southern hemisphere: 41 C (almost 106F). Gym still closed. Guess I'm running at 5.30 a.m. then...

    I fought my way through W5D3 on the treadmill...
    the programme says 8MIN RUN +5MIN WALK + 8MIN RUN
    I do my run/jog at 7.6-7.5 on the treadmill...I admint I couldnt do the whole 8 mins running at 7.5 and I wouldnt want to take it lower than that on the treadmill...so I adjusted it

    4MIN RUN @ 7.5 +1MIN walk at 6.5 + 3MIN RUN@7.6
    5MIN walk time was spent with leg press, leg curl and squats
    2MIN RUN @ 7.5 +1MIN walk at 6.5 + 5MIN RUN@7.6

    I made it to 2.51km (or mile..have no idea) in 22:31mins (I did some extra time to make sure I get to 2.50)


    now..W6D1 is saying 10MIN RUN 5 MIN WALK and 10MIN RUN....
    I have to ask what is a normal speed to run at for 10MINS....10MINS is an eternity for me in running...help?
