Monday 29th November Week 3.

MONDAY WEEK THREE GOAL: RUN 3.5KM

Attached is my session plan for todays training session.
Today I was at the Forest Recreation Ground. Here I ran a distance of 3.5km (3 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 hard. I think this is because I am not used to running theses distances and therefore my muscles were unable to full fill the training sessions needs. Even though I found it hard 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 Friday I will try to maintain a constant jogging speed for the whole training session. 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/.
