"Train don't strain." - Arthur Lydiard
Training really works. More than 3 months of training, I have put it to practice yesterday May 26, 2013. The Energen Family Fun Run. On the first month of training, I can only run for 500 meters. Thanks to the internet,
I practiced the drills and tips on running. My favorites are the videos about natural, barefoot and chi running.
Gradually, my running distance increased. 500 meters became 1km, then 1.5 km, 2 km, 2.5 km and 3.3 km.
I maintained the 3.3 km distance and focused on speed. This was in preparation for the 3 km category. My training record is 3.3 km in 23 minutes.
On the race day, I feel relaxed and confident. I beat my own record, now it is 3 km in 20 min and 35 seconds. I don't feel very tired or exhausted. I think 5 km is my next level and that is what the next training is all about. Gradually of course. Research, prepare and train.
