NB: Since I recently switched from running with my iPod Touch back to my Nano, I spent the first 1/2 mile of today's workout re-calibrating the Nano to my running pace, so my numbers are a bit askew. But I tried to keep the same pace once I began recording a 5K, which is how I can come up with the number of 3.6 miles (5K plus my pre-planned .5mi) in 46:13. Here's the 5K chart:
Unfortunately at about the 2.5km-to-go point, the iPod started playing a song that naturally picked up my pace, and THEN I hit the hills ... which explains the second half slowdown.
But even so, according to these (only slightly questionable!) calculations, I ran just under 2 miles today in about 20 minutes. Even with the obvious decrease in speed, I still averaged 12:50/mi. If I didn't fear tweaking out my shins, I might have tried to push the length of my run to prove my 4.5 mph speed ... but I'm trying to do this the safe, healthy, injury-free way, so I'll just keep plodding along at my every-so-slightly-increasing pace until I can build all new goals for myself.
Woohoo!
