I feel I don't have to stop and walk to rest anymore in running a 5 mile or longer (I think maybe up to 7 or 8 mile?) distance. I still have hard time around 3.5 to 4 miles, but I know I can overcome it if I just continue jogging. Sooner or later (for about 0.2 to 0.5 mile) I will get through and will have no problem to continue running.
I went to class couple of minutes early and wanted to start early so that I can run a little bit more. But waiting instructor to allow us to start, I did not get out of the building until 8:53am and had hardly any time to warm-up. I just run about 0.1 mile for warming-up and do several lunges and kicks and started running. I run a new 5 miler route. Although I was the last one back, I still got back just in time. I feel starting a little bit slower (in 11 min pace) and then gradually increasing the speed gave me much more easy feeling then starting faster (9 min pace) which I used to use.
Last 5 mile run I was in pace of 11:34 and I am happy I improved 26 second. Next 5 miler, I will try to increase the average pace to 10:50 min/mile.
