One of the things that has been frustrating for me is my time while running. I am still new to fitness and my new hobby of running, however I like to see progress. I have been running 38-41min for 3.1mi. It hasn't changed! Every week I get frustrated because I am not progressing like I feel I should.
If you have been reading my posts you will notice I have been doing a LOT of biking with our kids ( click here ). I also have been working on my time for running a mile ( See Here ). My best time ended up getting down to 10:38-ish? Well, I ran my mile today in 10:16! I also biked 4.79mi tonight. I had a poor eating day and I know I had to make up for SOME of it. Plus I wanted to keep up on my Fitbit steps for the day since I have been doing so bad at it.
Back to the point right? So I noticed last week when I combined my quick mile runs with bike rides, by the end of the week I had gut my 5k time by 3 mins. That is a HUGE improvement! My main goal has been to improve my time. I feel these short bursts of running (which my time has improved) are really conditioning my body for faster running.
I have my first 5k in just a few short weeks. I am excited and SO nervous. I just want to finish but at a good pace without pushing too hard that I feel like I am going to die. So I guess my training continues. I will always try to improve myself in all aspects, but it is nice to have goals to achieve so that I can keep striving!
Do you have anything in your life or fitness wise that you have a goal set? Whether it is reducing your running/walking times or a weight you are lifting or even weight you are trying to lose?
No matter what it is, stick with it and I am proof that ANYTHING is possible as long as you REALLY want it!
