Nellie: Week 3 (Run 3 & Run 4)

Run 3 (28th Feb)

6 p.m. in the evening. Same route within SS17; the slope-y one.

Distance: 1.21 km
Total time: Unknown (forgot to keep track of time again...)
Average speed: Unknown

This time I managed to run through the entire course, with minimal push from Shaun from the side :) We didn't do our usual strength training routine after the run, as we didn't want to push it too much before our group run the following morning.

Run 4 (29th Feb)

Group run!!!! Participants were me, Shaun, Siew Li, May, Jimmy and Wayne.

Although we were supposed to meet at 0830, by the time everyone had breakfast and got together at Wayne's place, we only managed to start running at 0915. And it was bloody hot by then. Hehehehe I think everyone agrees that for the next group run, we'll probably get together by 0700 or 0730 to begin the run ;)

There was two main running tracks in Lembah Kiara recreational park, an inner track and an outer track. The outer track is basically longer (2.2 km), a rather slope-y one and thus tougher, as it is stretched out along a hill. The inner track is somewhat flatter and half of the outer track's length (1.1 km).

We started with the outer track, most of us keeping to our own pace. Shaun and Jimmy sped ahead. Myself, I started out with a bit of walking, a short stretch just to enough to warm my muscles. After about few minutes of that I went after the boys. Throughout the course of the outer track, I ran and stopped I think about 3 times each, and as the outer track joins with the inner track I continued on to run most of it. Another short round of walking, then I tried running again the inner track for a short stretch. Stopped and walked, and finally a bit more running with May. All in all, we estimated that we ran and walked about 5 km in total. Under an hour I think. Not too bad, although personally I was disappointed as I wanted to run consistently for at least 2.5 km. Sigh :(
