10 minute run, 3 minute walk, 10 minute run
3 May
A sunny early evening, and I decided to go for a run then while the weather was good, and I was pleased that I did. I've still got to work out my best time for running - I like getting out in the morning but evenings are usually much nicer...
This time I decided to test how much I slow down over the 20-odd minutes. Still at the Coop House and I picked a short bit of track to run back and forth along. I tested how far it was to walk and one way was 85 seconds, probably at about 3 miles/hour. When running I was mostly hitting 84s for there-and-back so I guess I was going about 6 miles/hour, or 10 minute miles. My first leg was 80s and then I settled into the slower speed. Just before finishing I tried a burst and did half a lap in 35s. Interesting that this is only half a minute faster when extrapolated to mile pace than the last mile I tested a few sessions ago (8:45).
I need more accuracy before I worry about it too much, but timing is fun.
