Nellie: Week 2 (Run 1 & 2)

Run 1 (Monday, 16th Feb):

Distance: Less than 1km?
Total time: Unknown
Average speed: Unknown

Cannot understand why I ran less for this session in comparison with the other 2 runs in the first week. Could it be that I was still exhausted from the previous runs?

I asked around, and some of the responses were:

- Could be psychological. Brain hasn't had time to register the amount of training your body has been taking
- Didn't push yourself hard enough
- Started off faster than the previous runs


Run 2 (Thursday, 19th Feb):

Today we ran the perimeter of Shaun's housing area in SS17.

Distance: 2.65 km (according to mapmyrun.com, which btw is such a nifty little tool. Hee)
Total time: 25 minutes
Average speed: 6.36 kmph

Didn't actually run through the whole course, but I'd like to think that I ran most of it and at least the harder, slope-y routes :)

My breathing has become alot easier now, and I don't pant so quickly anymore after I start running, so that's good. I realised the few times I paused was due to my aching muscles; I guess my muscles are rather weak still. After running the course, we did a bit of strength training; what we did was basically sprinting up a really steep slope (I think it was about 30-40 degrees of steepness) as fast as our legs could carry us. We each did 3 of that, but Shaun obviously could sprint faster.
