Run...

Run... Last evening at the gym, attempted at running for longer duration instead of my usual 30 mins on the treadmill. I lasted 1 hr and clocked 6.77km. Wondering if this is good enough to run the bridge run in November? However it is a 10km run..  Don't wish to be the slowest or the last yet want to enjoy the run as well. Enjoy the scenery, catch glimpses of hunks or babes running past.  Woke up this morning with a cramped butt and thighs.  Will it be worse if to do a full 10km? That aside, there is no one to run with me as well. Though I don't really talk during jogging but turned to trusty mp3 player to keep me entertained in the jog.There is still time to consider before the registration ends. |

Woke up this morning with a cramped butt and thighs. Good for you, Angel - running is one of the best things you can do for your body. Swimming may be better/healthier long-term, but I really like to run. Your cramps and soreness sounds like your body complaining about you doing something much more than you usually ask of it. That's the bad news. The good news is that our bodies are highly adaptable, so if you repeat that same workout - running for 1 hour - say twice per week, so that you have some recovery time in between sessions, you should feel fine afterwards by perhaps the 4'th or 5'th time you do it. No more cramping or soreness after that once your body gets used to running for an hour. There is a woman roughly your height and age (she is early 30's) who runs regularly in my gym. Her normal workout is 10 km at a 5 minute per km pace, so it takes her around 50-51 minutes. This is fast for a woman - not quite a serious, competitive time - but I mention because she is around your size (also slim) and slightly older. I don't recommend that you aim for a 50 minutes 10k time, but a time that should put you in the middle of lots of other runners would be around 65 or 70 minutes. Since you can already run roughly 7 km in one hour, I will guess that - with another 6 weeks or so of training - you could pretty easily run 10 km in 70-to-75 minutes. And that is a pretty respectable time. Don't feel shy about running more slowly, Angel - you will see that some people walk large parts of the 10 km course. Many people will take 90 minutes or longer to finish. But if you really want to increase your speed over that 10 km distance, consider using interval training. This isn't complicated, although it feels pretty punishing at first. But the results can be amazing. I can send you some links outside your blog if you want to learn more about interval training.

Build up the stamina first... you find yourself more progressive on the threadmill. However, what is being done on the threadmill is different from running on the roads as roads tend to have bumps and uneven surface. As the time draws near for the bridge run, you will need to start taking things out to the open roads to adapt with the weather, tempreature and the uneven roads. Try taking the jog at Gurney front in the mornings as the run for the bridge starts at 3 or 4am. You will find it different but the stamina will last you for the 10km run. Have fun and enjoy the run. No pressure on the 10km run. I'll be doing the 25km and still building stamina currently and in a good progress.

Not sure if I can handle outdoor running environment. It should be 21km right, as there is only 42km, 21km and 10km runs. Oh ya, the run start so early in the morning. :S Waking up and muscle fatigue are more of a concern.

All the best in your training. Ya, outdoor and indoor running are very different. Not sure if I can handle outdoor running environment. It should be 21km right, as there is only 42km, 21km and 10km runs. Oh ya, the run start so early in the morning. :S Waking up and muscle fatigue are more of a concern.I hope by now you're already having at least a couple of 10km runs or longer... Last but not least, good luck, have fun and have plenty of well-deserved rest...

Hope you have proceeded fine with your training for now? The key to success is a commited and regular training. What bulehyatt and Stargate said are meaningful advices... You should consider them if you're training for that run you're aiming for. I hope by now you're already having at least a couple of 10km runs or longer... Last but not least, good luck, have fun and have plenty of well-deserved rest...
