Perhaps I'm not working hard enough?<br><br>But then 6:30 min is fast for me. On the tread mill, I run about 3km in 20 min, but on the street I seem to slow down... I'm aiming to do the Perth city to surf in August - clearly I've got a long way to go though!<br><br>Are you doing a training program or whatever takes your fancy at the time? Are you working toward a goal?*Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17220933420391928399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846297745517755566.post-90457388895895513242010-04-13T20:27:08.130+10:002010-04-13T20:27:08.130+10:00Perhaps you are not running anywhere disgustingly ...Perhaps you are not running anywhere disgustingly humid enough. ;) I also have skin that is quite sensitive to chafing and blisters, so I have to watch myself. I had to stop wearing my iPhone on an armband because of chafing. I'm speshul like that. <br><br>Which event are you wanting to run in for the City to Surf? There are a few that look like fun. <br><br>Street running is a lot harder than treadmill running, but a lot more interesting, even if you just tend to run around the park like I do. I tend to train where there are a lot of hills, so running an event that is almost flat feels like a blessing.<br><br>I am doing a training program based on the Run Coach app for my iPhone. It varies the runs, including long runs, pacing runs and easy runs, and is building up to a 10k event at the start of June which I thought was a good timeframe.<br><br>If I can get down to below 1 hour for that event, then I'll work towards doing a half-marathon in August or so. <br><br>I'll be able to run that far by then, but I figure that if I am too slow, it would be a bit boring. ;)The Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02368935358031860432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846297745517755566.post-90444061163785184232010-04-13T20:28:42.654+10:002010-04-13T20:28:42.654+10:00When I say "building up to" it means tha...When I say "building up to" it means that I'm training to be able to run it faster, which involves quite a lot of runs that are longer than 10k, so that on the day, I'll be able to go faster without feeling like I'm stretching myself just to finish.The Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02368935358031860432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846297745517755566.post-30594613808876429492010-04-13T21:55:18.794+10:002010-04-13T21:55:18.794+10:00Well, I'll aim to avoid the chafing all togeth...Well, I'll aim to avoid the chafing all together!<br><br>I'm aiming to do the 12km run. I've always thought I couldn't run, so to get this far has been an achievement in itself :P It's not quite a half marathon, but it's a nice feeling to be moving more easily and feeling my body change in all the right places!*Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17220933420391928399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846297745517755566.post-23856830247236890042010-04-28T23:15:32.907+10:002010-04-28T23:15:32.907+10:00Yay frozen spinach..Yay frozen spinach..Dragonflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08032258710192225915noreply@blogger.com
