I haven’t done any running for ages, so I decided that it was about time I got back into it. Went for a short run around the park last night after work, and seeing as how I’m so crap at it I decided to limit myself to 10mins or so and build up from there. The intention is to get three 10min runs in this week, and then increase by about 5mins per week from there. I did just over two laps of the park at an average time of 4m 50s.

I’ve no idea how long a lap of the park is, so I decided to time a lap of the marked rugby pitch, then find out what the dimensions of a rugby pitch are and work my speed out from that (nerd)! So, doing all the calcuations gives me a run speed of 11.25km/h, and 1 lap distance of 900m. Given that rugby dimensions are not set in stone, and that I used the maximum, my speed is probably a little slower, but I’ll get my bike computer set up on my MTB and use that to figure the distance out once and for all.

Week 2: R: 1.8km – W: 1 session
