Time: 6 am
Distance: 4.8 Km
Duration: 39 min 55 sec
Place: Electronic City, Bangalore
To my surprise I did not feel much pain when I woke up. So I
enthusiastically did my warm-up and started the 4.8 Km course. I tried not to
force myself into the comfort zone and I pushed myself to jog continuously as
far as possible. I jogged for 2.4 Km continuously!!! I am impressed. I can see
the stamina building up slowly. The rest 2.4 Km was a combination of jogging
and walking. My exhaustion level at the end of the course was little less than
yesterday. I would have done 75% jogging today.
After doing warm-down and stretching exercises I felt more
comfortable. I did not feel much pain in my legs today as compared to
yesterday. I feel that I have got more strength in my legs than before and I
feel physically fit too. And that is really a good sign.
Tomorrow is a rest day which will help me to recover from
the slight pain which I have right now. So far Hal Higdon’s training schedule
perfectly suits me. Thank you Sir for the great schedule which you have crafted.
