Week 1, Day 3
Phase: Base
Workout: 50 to 70 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Phase: Base
Workout: 50 to 70 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Summary: Same workout as Monday; nice easy run for an hour, with the goal of building endurance. Based on an estimated 5k time, pace for the run was to be between 7:12 and 7:42, which was actually very easy. I found myself running too fast on a number of occasions and will need to pay more attention to the Garmin 305 in future I think.
Splits: 7:29 7:16 7:27 7:11 7:18 7:19 7:19 7:19
With Day 3 of the plan safely negotiated, I’m left with 2 more easy days, a long run on Sunday and a 50 to 60 minute Pace Booster Run with 20 to 30 minutes at Steady State pace thrown in for good measure. As I’m planning on running a 5k on July 4th, this fits in perfect with the week’s plan.
Nice run. I’m loving this “endurance building” stuff and am interested to see how much I’m lacking in the speed department in Friday’s race. Seems like I haven’t run a 5k for the longest time, so it should be an eye-opener.
