Couch-to-5K: Week 9, Day 3

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

I just finished the final run in the Couch-to-5K Running Plan, and I don't think I could've asked for a better finish! The route was around the neighborhood, basically this route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/tx/keller/354491313, but in reverse, and I didn't start my run until I hit the 3 mile marker on that map (don't worry, I did my 5 minute brisk walk first). The temperature was probably in the upper 50s with a good wind out of what felt like the west/northwest. Here are the details:

Mile Splits:

  • 1st Mile: 10:10:53
  • 2nd Mile: 10:08:90
  • 3rd Mile:  9:38:76
    (and an additional .02 mile in the remaining 0:10:43 seconds until I hit 30 minutes of running.)

Additional Notes:

  • Average Pace: 9:56/mile
  • Average Speed: 6.04 mph
  • I didn't set out to do negative splits, but I am pleased that is how it turned out! (Okay, I did speed up in the final quarter mile.)

Jingle Bell Run 5K, here I come!
