10K! My first 10K! My longest run so far! Rock. ON!
Max 176 (96%) - Avg 155 (85%) - no zone calculation, I just ran
Wow. That was fun. I used a 3min/1min run/walk mix to run my first 10k workout. Other than making the mistake of not warming up, I think that went great. I started jogging right out the front door thinking that I was running so far I should just blend the warm-up into the distance. Bad idea. My shins started throbbing 10 minutes in and it took another 15 minutes to run it out. But after that I just got stronger and stronger as the run went on and generally had negative splits the rest of the distance.
I think I can call myself a runner now. Not because of a distance milestone, and certainly not because of any speed accomplishments, but simply because I'm actually crazy enough to enjoy this. I've learned that I really love to run. |
