I’ve been running this past year or so without a specific goal in mind and so I spotted this Kilkenny Half Marathon / 10km for Sept 18 2011 and I thought what the hell I’ll go for it.
Signed up during the week and then I though how exactly do I train for a 10km run? What time should I aim for? Should I just look to finish the damn thing!
I have used Smartrunner for a good while now, it’s good for recording runs but it hasn’t got a training scheme built into it. In looking for another phone app I found micoach from Adidas and at first glance it seems to be what I’m looking for so I’m giving it a try.
It has helped me set out an 8 week 24 session training plan to tackle the 10km which I must admit I’ve never done before so let’s see what happens
Today was assessment day and here’s what happened
And a recording of my impression of the assessment
