Couch-to-5K: Week 8, Day 3

Since we're out of town for Thanksgiving, this run was a little different from my previous runs, and I don't have the same stats. This run was done at Coggin Park in Brownwood, TX, which has a loop around it that is supposed to be 3 laps = 2 miles. Armed with this knowledge, I set out for Week 8, Day 3 of the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. In the 33 minute duration (walk + run), I did 5.25 laps. During the running phase I covered 4.75 laps in 28 minutes. If the distance is accurate, then this was a heck of a run. By the way, according to my car prior to the run, the temperature outside was 37 degrees, and then I discovered a really nice wind once I got out of the car.

Running Lap Times:

  • Lap 1: 6:13
  • Lap 2: 5:56 (12:09)
  • Lap 3: 6:06 (18:15)
  • Lap 4: 6:09 (24:23)
  • Finish: 3:37 (28:00)
