So a week and a day or so on, and I have not really been keeping up with the resolution. Candice and I have been out on a total of 3 "runs". I use the inverted commas because we have yet to break into a jog, let alone a run. But we are progressing: a rapid 10:59 min/km last time out, and a total of 7.51 km covered.
The first stat we are aiming to get down to around 6:30 min/km and want to do this over a 5km course (currently we are a smidgen under 4km - and yes, that means that one of our "runs" takes almost three quarters of an hour). We are also looking to cover at least 20km per week - so lots of work to be done on both fronts.
As mentioned in my last post I am using the Nike+ GPS app on my iPhone to track out progress (and hence the stats). This little app is a gem - you can check your exact route, pace at various points along your route and you even get encouragement while you are training. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to track their training, and especially for beginners as it is a great way to track stats that should help keep you motivated.
That is all...
