Friday 19th November Week 1.

FRIDAY WEEK ONE GOAL: RUN 2.5KM

Attached is my session plan for todays training session.
Today I was at the Forest Recreation Ground. Here I ran a distance of 2.5km (2 times around the perimetre of the feild). I did this to improve my cardiovascular endurance as running increases my heart rate and adapts it to higher levels of exercise. As a result this improves my cardiovascular endurance, allowing me to participate in exercise for a long period of time without becoming tired or exhausted.

I found the training session easier than Mondays session as I am getting used to running theses distances. I ran/jogged the whole distance and did not stop once. When I am next at the Forest Recreation Ground on Monday I will try to maintain a constant jogging speed for the whole training session. I will also increase the distance ran and try to stay within the time boundaries. If I am able to do this, it will show that my cardiovascular endurance has improved and therefore I am moving forward towards my goal.

Please find the circuit that I ran on this post. I created this using http://www.mapmyrun.com/.
