Gotta ask, what are you training for? Sounds like a half or a full given the emphasis your putting on the long runs and taper.

That's a pretty strong pace, especially if your not totally killing yourself to run it. I don't know if your super active in sports or other activities but running 6:30-7:00 pace is very solid for someone that doesn't do alot of endurance training. Heck, many people can't run that for an all out mile. With your speed and seeming natural aerobic strength you'd probably do quite well at running.


I've played football since I was 4 and now I'm sixteen :p But other stuff has gotten into the way I used to have decent stamina and could easily play whole football matches and I was winger. Now I'm outer(?) defender and I can't hold 90 min :/. Well when I run myself I can't really achieve a fast pace without sort of like giving up. But when we run that track in school it feels much better because then I can selfcompete with others and I can keep on running even though I wouldn't do normally.

If you really want to improve your footballing, you should consider doing some serious running in the off-season. At full-back you will really see the difference in your play if you are able to consistently support your attack while still being able to recover back for 90 minutes. If you've never seen Ashley Cole play LB for Chelsea, try to catch one of their games and just watch how much ground he covers - it's one of the main reason he's one of the best fullbacks in the world. I understand that running is not always the most fun, but perhaps if you can focus on using it to improve your football it will be easier to stay motivated.

Blasphemy!

In all seriousness though I understand and agree completely, though for many of us running is indeed a very fun activity.

While its not always for everyone I think there are two real keys to enjoying (or at least not despising) running. Number one is mindset. Don't think "O god, here comes another 40 minutes of boredom and torture", but rather approach it with an open mind and try to find the joy in just being alive out there cruising at a nice pace.

The second HUGE piece of advice is pace, pace, pace. A very large portion of new runners run way to hard all the time. Most of your running should be easy aerobic jogging, something along the lines of 7:00-7:30 pace if you can run a 5 minute mile, 8:30-9:00 pace if your a 6 minute miler, 10:00 pace if your a 7 minute miler, and maybe 11:30 pace if your an 8 minute miler.

To slakoo, you definitely fall into the category of people running way, way to fast. Just the fact that you can hold that pace means your already in pretty good shape, but to do normal runs at that pace is crazy. Unless you happen to be a 4:20-4:30 miler. If your in something like 5:30 shape for one mile you ought to be running somewhere around 12:00-13:00 for your 2.5km loop. Leave the 10:00 pace for your loop to the guys that can run sub 16 5K's. The reason your finding the need to have a teammate there is because its much too fast of a pace for general running at your fitness level. I guarantee you'd find running at a truly easy pace significantly more manageable and enjoyable.
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

Full, half marathon training doesn't usually get up to 20
