My First Running Competition
Well, okay probably not my first running competition ever, but it’s been at least 15 years since my last one. I just inscribed for the “Sqware Najaarscross Bladel 2009″ run. And I’m planning to do a 6 kilometer run there.
So I still have 4 weeks for training before it’s time. I have to work my way up from where I’m now to a decent continuous speed without getting blisters or calve or foot pain.
This week I will do 4×7 minutes. Next week will be 3×10 minutes. Then I will tackle the 2×15 and final week will be for the 1×30 minutes.
I have no illusion that I can do a 6 kilometer cross run under 30 minutes. Time is of no importance, pleasure is! I want to run 6k without any physical pain other then my cardiovascular system working like crazy. Wish me luck!
Looks like a proper plan, hopefully your body will cooperate and show off the weeks of training. Good luck on the competition!
