Ive really enjoyed this week, and have felt good after each of my planned days. The rest day is helpful, having one a week is definitely a good idea.
Today's run was a little harder, and I was pooped afterwards but still felt good.
I did 7 km all up.
10 min walking
35 mins running (no walking, woooo)
10 mins walking
4 x 100 m strides
then it was about another 7 mins to walk home, so still counted that.
I realised I would have done the 5km in just under 40 mins had I not walked the first km, so I am very happy. I did just follow the plan though, my average speed has really improved.
While running and feeling good, I had to keep reminding myself I am doing it to improve my fitness and stamina, and not my time at this stage. I kept speeding up, so had to remind myself to slow down.
Bring on the next week of training :D
Pump tomorrow, will up my weights for all tracks, not sure by how much just yet.
