This week was the third week of my six week training programme. I am half way through! I ran on the days Monday and Friday and attended the gym on days Tuesday and Thursday.
Last weeks goal was:
Run 6km over the two days that I am at the forest recreation ground (3km each day)
This weeks goal is:
Run 7km over the two days that I am at the forest recreation ground (3.5km each day)
On Monday and Friday I ran an increased distance of 3.5km each day.
On Monday I found the training session hard. I think this is because I am not used to running these 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.
On Friday I found the training session really hard. I think this was because I was becoming exhausted and was due for a few days rest! 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.
I set my target to run 7km this week as I think that this was a reasonable distance to run over 2 days as I have been increasing the distance by 1km each week. This was my third week of the training programme and I was getting used to the distances that I have been running. I found the distance to run on Monday quite difficult as I was still adapting to the distances that I have been told to run. However, I didn't stop running throughout the training session and therefore this shows that I am progressing more and more each week. Last week I ran 6km over the 2 days that I was at the forest recreation ground and this week I have increased the distance by 1km. I feel that an extra 0.5km to run this week will improve my cardiovascular endurance further and therefore I will be one step closer to my overall goal.
This week I feel that I did not reach the realistic target that I set myself. the realistic target that I set for myself was:
* Be able to run a distance of 7km over the two days that I am at the forest recreation ground.
On Tuesday and Thursday I attended the gym.
On Tuesday I found the training session challenging because I have increased the intensity of the workout by increasing the amount of time actually spent at the gym and therefore increasing the amount of time spent on each machine, this is good for my body as it will train my heart rate and increase my cardiovascular endurance.
On Thursday I found the training session adequate for my progressing ability because I am getting used to going to the gym now and also getting used to the training session; this is good for my body as it will train my heart rate and increase my cardiovascular endurance.
Next Week I will be improving my goals set so that my cardiovascular endurance can increase and become closer to the overall goal that I have set for myself.
