It has been a while since my last post about running here. I didn't stop but it is true that I currently run less. I have a problem at one of my toe's nail. It fell 2 or 3 months ago and the new one is still small and might enter my toe (this is not the case but this is the reason why I run less).
However, I still did a test on 2K last Friday to evaluate my running condition. I did the same test in the beginning of March before the start of my 20K training. I want to do a training similar to this one so I need to evaluate myself.
I knew I don't have the same condition since I don't do a lot of exercises these days but this is better than expected.
After a warm-up of 3.5 km and some active stretching, I did 2K as fast as I could. Here is the result:
The real time is actually 7'29", so just 4 more seconds than in March.
The biggest problem this time was that I was really too fast for the first kilometer. I think this is because I don't know my actual condition right now. I did the first K in 3'32" and the second in 3'56". A really big difference!
Now I think the right thing to do is to see a podiatrist before starting a real training with 3 or more sessions a week. And if everything's ok, I might train for a marathon!
Super quick! That's an interesting test -- I haven't heard of a 2k test before.
Hope your toe feels better soon. I know it took me a while for my thumbnail to grow back in, and I had to take a break from climbing while I waited.
It's a test I found on Zatopek. I have an Excel sheet with a lot of calculations. I put my time on 2K with my max heart rate and then I have my training for the next 12 weeks. It's nice when you want trainings that suit you!
This is one of the sheets in the Excel file.
Still impressive!
You probably run the 2K faster than I would run the 1K 😔
Everybody has his own rhythm ;)
No need to be a masochist to run well... but a bit of pain could make you stronger. ;)
