Prolong runnning

After completing King of the Road... my running seems to have improve... in the sense of i am now able to run non stop for 5km, however at a reduce pace... previously the maximum i was able to run was only 2.5 to 3km. even to this distance it was a struggle for me ..

Referring to week 34, i have also graduated from the honeymoon-ish kind of run .. flat-ish small round around the Kiara Valley Lake, to the bigger round of the jogging track.. with small slopes at length of 2 kilometer per loop ..

This week i finished 3 runs... very motivating & long runs by my standards..

17th August 08, 8 kilometers
19th August 08, 8 kilometers
21st August 08, 7 kilometers

Reduced pace... was running about 7:30 mins/km to 8:00 mins/km but the motivation was that they were mostly either up or down slopes... & more significantly.. the running was continous.. without stopping..

Injuries... seem to be bearable with some kinks in the shins & ankle..running on alternate days allows my joints to recover from the heavy weight..

Its a really a big achievement for this fat guy .. :)

Now i gotta push the heart rate higher when i run to build up cardio stamina
