Monday 20th December Week 6.

MONDAY WEEK SIX GOAL: RUN 5KM

Today I was at the Forest Recreation Ground. I ran a distance of 5km (4.5 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 moved even closer to the 1 hour goal as today it took me 1 hour and 5 minutes compared to 1 hour and 15 minutes. When I am next at the Forest Recreation Ground I will aim to complete the session plan in a lower time. 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/.
