today i dragged myself out of bed and ran 5K (without walking at all) for the first time ever!!!!!!! i did it in about 38 mins with an average pace of 7:40. this is considered slow i believe, but this is miles ahead from when i started running.
my first run ever (which was about a year ago) had a pace with two minutes more (around 9:30) than the one i did today. impressed at all the way ive come!
the scale hasn’t been moving much for me these days because of the many cheat days ive been having (still 30 pounds lighter than last year but struggling to lose the 10lbs to exit the obesity bmi). however, it’s nice to see that i’m making progress nonetheless!
i have been running on and off for the past year, without a training goal in mind. though, ive been doing hiit a lot! (i find it very hard but satisfying and time effective! i love jumping around) it really helped me build my cardio up for the past few months. i mainly did the 500 calories burn video from Chloe Ting and Calorie Killer HIIT from a-fit. i would do one daily for five days, rest for two days and move to the other video for five days. after two weeks, i’d go back to more moderate exercise for the last two weeks of the month and start again the following month!
i moved to hiit workouts from the fitness plus app since getting an apple watch and those have been very effective as well.
now im ready to work on my speed and eventually run a 10K! good luck to everyone and keep on working hard on your journeys!
