Been running for the past 3 weeks and have been consistent, following the Hal Higdon 8k training plan. Have been switching back and forth lately between the novice and intermediate training plans. I’m not really a “novice” but seeing as I’m out of shape, have to ease back into the regime. Ran 4.3 miles yesterday after work at my internship at e-Dialog which felt really good. About 7 weeks left to the Ollie 5 mile road race? Just checked…50 days away.
If I could average 7 minute miles I would be very happy with myself. But seeing as how I’ve been struggling to hold 9’s I’m not sure. My theory is that with this consistency, things will start to click into place and the improvements will get faster. Muscle memory?
