Friday 10th December Week 4.

FRIDAY WEEK FOUR GOAL: RUN 4KM

Today I was at the Forest Recreation Ground. I have done the same session as I did on Monday and therefore I ran a distance of 4km (3.5 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 thought that I coped with the training session very well as i did not feel exhausted after running the distance I did. I think this is because I am finally getting used to running theses distances and therefore my muscles were able to full fill the training sessions needs. I also think by listening to music while I ran was a good idea as I was kept motivated and thought that the session was over alot quicker. I was able to maintain a constant running/jogging pace and I did not stop throughout the whole session. When I am next at the Forest Recreation Ground on Monday I will aim for running 7 laps of my curcuit. 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/.
