Was not really going for it, kind of happened naturally.
2 month progress.
Edit—Ok, calm down folks. I had no idea it would come off like this. . I’m just use to people posting 29,28,25 mins 5k. So felt silly posting a 29:59 5k. But still wanted to share progress for my personal accountability. Hence framed it like that.
I ran slow, at some points I felt like I could go fast but didn’t because I wanted this to be a no break run. Happened for the first time and the finish felt like I had more in the tank.
So thrilled right now..
Completed one month of running today.
No prior running experience but have strength training experience for years. Been trying to learn from videos and free app plans.
Male/Age 40.
I have been doing strength training for years and I have learned how to do it there. It’s either TUT or reps or weight.
Started running 2 months ago and been doing 3 runs per week.
Easy 3 mile - avg pace 12 min/mile
Tempo 3 mile - avg pace 9:45/ mile
Long run 5 mile- avg pace 11 min/mile
Question- how long I should keep doing this before increasing either mileage or speed. I don’t want to overdo and injure myself as well. But I wonder does progressive overload works same in running where you necessarily do better every week ?
Any help/pointers appreciated.
Have always been into Sneakers but waited 37 yrs of my life to reach a stage where I could finally afford these.
