Distance :1 mile
Time: 6:55 (best 6:50)
To see my previous run, check out the below post.
No pain no gain.
I've been running slightly longer distances to improve my endurance. After a few longer runs, I decided to see where my 1 mile time has improved to so this run is strictly 1 mile.
My overall run felt decent. I started off feeling good, not super fast but my body felt like it could handle the run without cramping. At the 1/2 mile mark, I was pacing slower than expected even though the Nike run app was showing my pace around 6:30/mile. I clocked in the half mile around 3:28. I stopped watching the clock from there and just kept running trying to not slow down. On the downhill spurt of the last 0.20 miles, I was moving my legs a lot faster than I normally do and managed to get a negative split in finishing the second half of the mile at 3:27.
I was not happy with my time but my body felt good. Very light cramp at the end of the run. I was not coughing as much after the run. I'm a very goal oriented person and I'm not happy moving backwards or staying stagnant too long. I'm going to increase the intensity going forward and will promise improvement.

That's more than a decent pace for a runner buddy :) All the best :)
thanks. Still not that good for me. At the end of the mile I can barely walk. The goal is to get sub 6 minute and get in better shape.
