After my full marathon run in Dec 09, I have been doing very little running. I need some competitive events to movitate me to run regularly again hopefully 2 to 3 times a week. So I decided to participate in the Passion Run 2010 to be conducted on 22 May 2010. I just registered for the 25km. People would laugh at me if I chose the 10 km run ;-)
Despite signing up for this even about a month ago, I continued to do very little running. Too far away, no motivation yet! KP Tan has been asking William and me to train with him at Macritchie Reservoir (MR) on every sunday morning but we always managed to come up with "valid reasons" on why we cannot make it. I finally made it a point to run with him at MR today. After such a long break, it was really difficult to wake up at 5.45 am. It was a good turn out with 11 regular runners. All ran 16km or more. I was the only one who did an embarassing 11km!
ReplyDeleteI still have no motivation to run regularly. Why? I don't know. Okay, I shall make it a point to run an average of 3 times a week from now on. A minimum of 20km per week for the 1st 4 weeks and 25km per week for the subsequent 4 weeks! It's a deal :D
ReplyDeleteSad to say, I did not follow the training that I drew up for myself on 31 Mar. My training for the past 8 weeks are:
ReplyDelete1st week - 29.4km (4 times a week)
2nd week - 12.8km (2 times a week)
3rd week - 2.4km (1 time a week)
4th week - 9.4km (2 times a week)
5th week - 22.4km (3 times a week)
6th week - 37.7km (4 times a week)
7th week - 46.6km (4 times a week)
8th week - 20km (2 times a week)
As you can see, I was really lazy for the first 4 weeks. I had no choice but to train extra hard for week 6th & 7th. The longest run was 16km on last Sun, 16 May, when I should have done 20km. I am not really ready for this Sat 25km run. Hence, I shall set a low target this time ie. to complete the run in 3 to 3.5 hrs.
