I've just started getting into running as part of my weight loss plan for the last 3 weeks. I've got a route that's 2.8 miles long and includes a park, lake and road. It's a pleasant run with decent scenery.
Week 1 - Ran/walked in 34:33 which was the fastest of the 2 times I did
Week 2 - Ran/walked in 31:27 which was the fastest of the 2 times I did
Week 3 - Ran/walked in 30:07 which was the fastest of the 3 times I did
I'm using an App for my iPhone called Cyclemeter to log and plot my Route.
As you can see I'm walking (Fast) allot of this but I am gradually running more and it as been a little difficult with the snow and ice lately. I'm using an old pair of Nike "Running" trainers I know they're not great but I'm loathed to spend serious money atm. at least till I can run the 2.8 mile without walking.
I am getting to the stage where i'm just starting to enjoy it but i'm wondering if I were to keep up my running 3 times a week (Mon,Wed,Fri) when i might expect to be able to run the whole 2.8 miles without reverting to walking some of it?
