My total mileage (well, in kilometers) this month was 48.87. Definitely haven’t run as much as I wanted/usually do. But that’s life, right?
So here’s what I got up to running-wise for the month of May!
Saturday May 3rd
On April 19th, during one of the Peloton live outdoor run club runs I ran 6.92km with an average pace of 6:28 (in 45 minutes), which gave me my fastest 5km time EVER!! I even ran the 4th km at an average pace of 5:51!
And I did my 2nd fastest 5km time on April 1st. 5.05km in 6.02/km average pace.
So I was super proud of pushing myself on that fastest 5km day.
Today’s run was a different story — much slower! 9:19/km and only ran 6.34km in 60 minutes, but I took it easy and slow on purpose as I’m still recovering from a cold or virus or something I got last Sunday and was off work Mon-Wed this week. It was the Peloton live outdoor run club #6 with Matt Wilpers as the Peoloton instructor. I was worried that the whole run would all be hip hop/rap music because that’s Matt’s fave genre, but it was good because he had 5 intervals of different genres — country, rock, pop…
