I'm pretty high on motivation levels (given that the new year is still fresh and all) and am feeling extremely gungho about the training schedule I've set for myself. This morning, I went for my 1hr run as per the calendar.
It was a good run and in terms of effort, it ranked pretty high. But my fitness level is not as high as I imagined it would be, and as predicted in my previous post, I couldn't sustain the pace that I had set for myself.
Before my two month break from running, I was able to do on an average about 8.5 - 8.7k per hour and I had worked out my training schedule based on this level. Today was meant to be a test run to see if to check if it still held good but I fell short by around 200 meters.
8.3K @ 7'14" pace: Thats where I am at now. (Come to think of it that was my half marathon pace at my last event!) I will have to re-work my training schedule to accomodate this drop in level.
