Couch-to-5K: Week 7, Day 3

by Bryan on in 🍎 Health and Fitness
Couch-to-5K Running

Here are the details from yesterday's run:

Workout Time: 30:00 Minutes (5 minute brisk walk, 25 minute run)
Workout Distance Covered: 2.97 Miles
Workout Pace: 10:06/mile

5K Time: 32:01 (continued brisk walk at end of workout until 5K)
5K Pace: 10:18/mile

Details: This run was Day 3 of Week 7 of the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. As with all runs in the C25K plan, this one began with a 5 minute brisk walk, which I did at a 4 MPH pace. Following the walking, I ran the following pace:

  • 6.1 MPH for 5 minutes
  • 6.2 MPH for 5 minutes
  • 6.3 MPH for 5 minutes
  • 6.4 MPH for 5 minutes
  • 6.5 MPH for 5 minutes

I then walked at 4 MPH to cool down.

I picked the pace up slightly from my last run, and felt good throughout most of the run. The final 10 minutes (@ 6.4 and 6.5 MPH) were a little tougher, but I was able to finish without struggling and with good form. This was the final run of week 7. Week 8 consists of 3 runs of 28 minutes in length. I plan on doing the first run at 6 MPH. Does anyone think I should slow things down a little more?
