Grooved to Run

Friday was Week 4 Day 3 of the Couch-to-5K running plan.

W4D3 was, by far, the coldest weather I’ve had to deal with up to this point. It was 22 degrees when I left the house and just under 20 by the time I finished. I’m not sure what it was after you factored in the wind chill. Definitely a cold one.

Total for the workout was 3.01 miles in 36:54 (12:14 pace). Warm-up was 0.36 miles in 4:54 (13:30 pace). Intervals were 1.99 miles in 21:24 (10:45 pace). Cool-down was 0.66 miles in 10:35 (16:02 pace). Maximum speed was 7.0 mph.

This week was a tough one, but I slowed my pace down a tiny bit (still around 9-10 min/mi for running) and I made it through. I’ll be moving on to W5D1 on Monday.
