Marathon Effort » 5k Runs http://marathoneffort.com Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:57:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 5k run – 36.57 http://marathoneffort.com/2009/11/5k-run-36-57/ http://marathoneffort.com/2009/11/5k-run-36-57/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:08:45 +0000 admin http://marathoneffort.com/?p=96 I have not been out for a while as I have been mentally preparing myself for the change in climate ! The evenings are darker and colder and my motivation seems to be taking longer to kickstart into action !

Get Up and Get Motivated !

I managed to run 5k in 36.57 which is slower than my first 5k race (but that was a race !) and I am beginning to think seriously now about increasing my weekly mileage.

An 16 week Marathon training will commence Christmas/New Year time so my main focus is to be able to run continiously for 45 mins to 1hr….so nearly there !

The race was well attended (approx 300) and a decent goody bag was had by all !

Here’s to 10km in October at Scone Palace ;)

Please check our the nutrition plans above…they help me work out whats good and whats bad !

I am not progressing well with the 50 mile challenge that needs to be complete by 26th June so I need to make more effort to longer runs to make up the distance….will track progress here.

Thanks for you kind words of support.
