My name's Pete, and I'm not the fittest person in the world. Somehow, though, I've found myself preparing for a 10K run in May, 2011.

This blog previously charted my various fitness activities as a means of self-motivation. Now, it's going to chart my training for this event, and beyond.

Intervals

Did some 1:1 intervals tonight… I’m sure I’ve explained them somewhere before so I’m not going to type out the full routine again. Regardless, it felt quite a bit easier today, and my “fast” segments were 1) faster and 2) easier than they’ve been before. I managed to break 10km/h with my early “fast” runs which I know isn’t very much, but it is an achievement for someone who doesn’t run very fast and is still, relatively speaking, quite new to fitness in general.

Next time I do intervals I think I’ll try and up the intensity somehow… perhaps 90 seconds “fast” running followed by 60 seconds of “steady” running instead of the equal split I have at the moment.
