As you know, I currently shuffle run at a pace which is very slow. I have been doing the c25k at a 5mile/hr pace which would have me doing a 37 minute 5k which is completely respectable and I would be happy with that.
But, I am struggling so much! Running that pace is for an extended period is just painful for me. So, I have two options:
1 - Stay on week 2 until I get comfortable at that pace (But, will I ever get comfortable at that pace? I don't know.)
2 - Lower my running pace to maybe a 4.7 which would give me a 40 minute 5k. (But, can I even do that pace? I don't know.)
A 40 minute 5k basically has me that last person in any 5k which is sucky, so I am crabby about this. But, I am crabby about the 5mph pace.
What should I do????
suck it up!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, Cara you and I are going to run in a 5 k fun run this summer. if you come last - we all come last together. So start training and stop crying because your pace is our pace is your pace is ours. xxx
What's the goal? If the goal is to hit 5K, then you need to hit 5K. If that requires you to slow down so that you hit the goal, then you slow down.
