Nellie: Week 2 (Run 3) & Week 3 (Run 1 & Run 2)

Week 2 (Run 3)

I dragged myself out of bed at 0730 last Saturday (21st Feb) for a morning run with Shaun. But before going off for the run, I thought it would be best to have some breakfast first to fuel my energy, hence the ungodly time of rousing.

We went running around SS17 again. Maybe it was just too soon or what, basically there was no improvement from the previous run. Hmmm.

Distance: 2.65 km
Total time: 25 minutes
Average speed: 6.36 kmph

Week 3 (Run 1) - Monday, 23rd Feb

We ran a different route this time, but we were still within SS17. This route is somewhat more challenging as there are a lot of slope-y stretches, including one killer 45 degree inclined slope.

Distance: 1.05 km
Total time: Unknown (we had no time on us!)
Average speed: Unknown

I didn't manage to run through the whole course, as it was really quite tough because of the slopes and all. Stopped a few times because of the burning sensation in my calves. Shaun managed to run the whole way though. After running, we went back to the 45 degree slope and did a few rounds of strength training. This time we managed to sprint up the slope 4 times.

Week 3 (Run 2) - Thursday, 26th Feb

The same route as the previous one.

Distance: 1.05 km
Total time: Unknown
Average speed: Unknown

However, we managed to run another round after resting for about 20 minutes after the first run.

Distance: 1.45 km
Total time: Unknown
Average speed: Unknown

Still haven't been able to run consistently yet; still had to stop a few times. Am still struggling with the burning sensation in my calves and ankle area. I'm not sure if I should push it, as it's not exactly painful. In fact they felt more heavy rather than painful.

Did sprints up the killer slope again, this time we managed 6!!! Super proud :D
