Running – Day 14

I didn’t run yesterday. I was a bit sad about something related to work. Anyways, today too wasn’t good as far as running is concerned :(

After the warm up, (I don’t know why but) I decided to measure my speed. I completed 1 Km in 5 minutes, so 12 Km/hr which is ok for me as a beginner, but after that I couldn’t run as per the usual 5-2 X 3 program. I ran for about 3 more minutes, and then knees started hurting. I walked for about 25 minutes and then stopped.

I guess I should just keep the Sundays for the experimentation and follow the program on weekdays :)

Running – Day 13

5-2 X 3 is tough… I feel breathless during the last minute of these 5 minutes.

Also, I think running at night is not the right thing for me to do. I can feel the food getting all jumbled up in the tummy while running. I would try to shift to the mornings from tomorrow.

Music is helping me to run. But I would advise you to suite yourself. I guess if you like being alone, you would enjoy your runs without the music, but if you hate being alone (like me), you should run with it.

Running – Day 12

Ran for 2 Miles today ( Just 24 consecutive miles to go ;) )

Dharmendra told me that there is a Marathon in Feburary in Pondicherry. I am aiming to complete that :) He also mentioned that anyone, even a sumo can train for a marathon in 18 weeks. I like to believe I am in a good shape than a sumo, so it shouldn’t be impossible ;)

Running in L&T South City during weekdays and in Lalbagh on Sunday’s is working out to be a good thing for me. I have lost a couple of kilos since I started running. It is partly due to the diet control and partly coz of running, either ways what matters is that I am losing weight :)

[I wish I had done this earlier in my life, instead of trying to follow a stupid shortcut]

Running – Day 11

I switched from the 3-2 X 4 to 5-2 X 3 (i.e. 5 min Run, 2 Min Walk 3 times) today. I hadn’t thought it would be a big deal moving from 3 to 5 mins of continuous running, but for me, it was. I think I would stick on to 5-2 X 3 for next 4-5 days, but lets see.

I am ready for the 2 miles tomorrow :)

Running – Day 10

Today wasn’t that great :(

I completed 3-2 X 4 and headed back home after a long cool down walk.
