Time: 6 am
Distance: 4.8 Km
Duration: 33 min and 30 sec
Place: T.Nagar, Chennai
I woke up bit late by ignoring my alarm and hence skipped Pranayama. I started the jog in a good pace but around 1 km I reduced my pace and instead I decided to give more preference to continuous run. I ran continuously for 3.1 Km which is a very good progress. I felt that my exhaustion level has come down. My breathing pattern was good and I could feel that I was breathing smoothly. I guess the credit goes to Pranayama.
I just walked for around 200 meters during the entire course. I finished the 4.8 Km course in 33 min and 30 sec. Though there is not much progress in the time I am happy that I could attempt for continuous run. Tomorrow I shall try for 4 Km non-stop run.
I was pretty confident that I would be able to finish the course under 31 minutes but it was a surprise that I finished at almost last time’s lap-time. Though I made non-stop run for 3.1 Km I think my pace reduced considerably. In a way it is good that I am increasing my non-stop distance and also there is very good improvement in my stamina level.
Tomorrow my plan is to give importance to non-stop 4 Km with an easy pace. Once done I shall increase my pace at the last 1 Km. Tomorrow’s is a 6.4 Km course. Another important thing is that I am not going to take a water-break at 4.8 Km. This way I will get used to drinking water every 5 or 6 Km which is how generally water-stations are spaced during marathon races.
So lots of plan has been devised for tomorrow. I pray to God to help me in achieving my goals as planned.
