10k training: week one review

So, the first week of training is over. I have discovered that running without eating beforehand doesn't work and just makes my legs feel heavy and I go slower than usual.

The first week was 2 x 2 mile runs and a 15 minute run. None were that easy. (the 15 minute run was done without eating)

Tomorrow, week 2 starts with a 3 mile run. I am hoping this run is easier than yesterday's attempt at a 2 mile run. Deciding to chuck a few hills in there (I have no idea why I did this) was not a good idea.

10k training

The last time I ran a 10k was in November at Plymouth. I am now training for the London 10,000 and am desperate to get my time down. Hoping to get the time down to at least 1:10.

10k training has started. The plan is to do it by time and not distance. Although, looking at yesterday's stats, it's tempting to switch to distance.
