Apparently it's harder to keep straight than it seems, because 3 miles is nearly 5k 😉

Personally I track distance in kilometers and pace in min/km, but I also don't live in the US...

Lol, I didn't mean nearly as "not quite" I meant nearly as in "near." 🙂 I wish I was taught in km and knew what certain km/hour looked/felt like. Instead, I'm but a lowly American using miles/hour on a kilometer course. It's not so bad 😛

I track distances in kms (although I post on the forum in miles), but I pace in min/mile, since most of the marathon training programs are written by Americans. How's that for confusing? 😀
 
Kamper, Done! also I got to push my truck about another 1/4 mile after I ran on my way back from school last night, does that count? lol
 
Reg - have you looked at doing an actual 5K? And have you looked into putting or having a training plan put together? Doing 3-3-3-3 will only get you the benefits of running 3 miles hard each day, which just drains your energy level. You need some easy runs and also a long run once a week, and you'd benefit from other various types of training. (Track, interval, tempo, etc)

I agree. Reg is making good progress so far, but he'll quickly flatline if he doesn't vary his training a bit.

Good suggestions RB. Also, I posted a few tips earlier in the thread.

Switch it up a bit Reg, and you'll eventually see your 5k time drop even further.
 
I hear ya guys right now I am just enjoying seeing the progress from run to run, I feel like I still have more in the tank, i am actually doing some elliptical and light stuff on the off days, i am just posting the run results here.
